Genotype-by-environment interaction and genetic dissection of heartwood color in Cryptomeria japonica based on multiple common gardens and quantitative trait loci mapping.

The heartwood color of a major plantation tree Cryptomeria japonica shows high variability among clones and cultivars, and brighter heartwood has higher value in the usage of non-laminated wood such as in traditional construction, which makes heartwood color an important trait in breeding of this sp...
