Genome‐wide SNP identification in Fraxinus linking genetic characteristics to tolerance of Agrilus planipennis
Abstract Ash (Fraxinus spp.) is one of the most widely distributed tree genera in North America. Populations of ash in the United States and Canada have been decimated by the introduced pest Agrilus planipennis (Coleoptera: Buprestidae; emerald ash borer), having negative impacts on both forest ecos...
