The role of soils in driving patterns of distribution of Pinus L. in China
Project summary:
I will perform a genome-wide association study using transcriptomes and employ ecological niche modeling to determine the role of soils in driving the distributions of biodiversity of the genus Pinus L. in China. I am seeking support for field work to collect species not represented by transcriptomes in public databases.
