Many economically important species of Populus, especially those in sections Aigeiros and
Tacamahaca, remain recalcitrant to genetic transformation. In this study, a simple and …

With the completion of the poplar tree genome database, Populus species have become
one of the most useful model systems for the study of woody plant biology. Populus …

The advent of next-generation sequencing has facilitated large-scale discovery, validation
and assessment of genetic markers for high density genoty**. The present study was …

This study aimed to investigate the response of Populus nigra L.× Populus maximowiczii to
the addition of selected metals in soil. Rooted cuttings were planted in pots containing soil …

Cellulose synthesis is a complex process in plant cells that is important for wood processing,
pul**, and papermaking. Cellulose synthesis begins with the glycosylation of sitosterol by …

Populus species are important resources for industry and in scientific study on biological
and agricultural systems. Our objective was to enhance the frequency of plant regeneration …

Cycling between vegetative growth and dormancy is an important adaptive mechanism in
temperate woody plants. To gain insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms, we …

Septoria musiva is a major pathogen of Populus and can cause leaf spots and stem cankers
in susceptible clones. In order to investigate defense mechanisms of Populus in response to …

A reliable in vitro regeneration procedure for Populus tomentosa is a prerequisite for its trait
improvement through genetic transformation. We established a systematic protocol for …

Background Gene duplication is central to genome evolution. In plants, genes can be
duplicated through small-scale events and large-scale duplications often involving …
