Poplar species exhibit a multifaceted suite of adaptations to saline environments, combining physiological, biochemical and molecular strategies. Central to survival under high salt is the maintenance ...

Populus species occupy a central role in forest ecosystems and bioenergy plantations, yet their long lifespan renders them vulnerable to a broad spectrum of pathogens. Defence against invading fungi ...

A significant study has mapped the genetic complexity of Populus cathayana, an ecologically and economically valuable poplar species. By creating a detailed genome assembly and analyzing genetic ...

Recent work shows that the plant microbiome - the microorganisms in a plant and its immediate environment - influences plant health, survival, and fitness. The initial assembly of the microbiome is ...
