Scientists decode the DNA of one of America's most iconic trees, the white oak

Highly valued economically, ecologically and culturally, the white oak (Quercus alba) is a keystone forest species and is one of the most abundant trees across much of eastern North America. It also faces declining seedling recruitment in many parts of its range. In a paper published in New Phytologist, researchers representing the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture, Indiana University, the University of Kentucky, the U.S. Forest Service and several more institutions describe for the first time the species' complex genome, providing insights into fundamental questions about plant evolution, tree breeding and genetic improvement efforts that could help forest managers plan for and address future forest resources.

Wool sower galls on white oak

Made by a wasp laying its eggs on the tree...somehow the tree reacts to the wasp secretions and creates this thing and the wasp grubs develop inside.

It looks cute and fluffy, but .....ewwwww. 🤢

Pretty cool though. The wasps are harmless and the galls don't hurt the tree.

I love trees.

My wife and I love to go for walks and identify the trees we see. I took these photos on a walk in June 2023.

We saw some sweetgum trees, a silver maple, a white oak, a shagbark hickory, a red maple, a red oak, and a sugar maple. The most beautiful trees on that day, in their full bloom were the catalpa trees by the river.
