The genus Populus has a wide distribution in different climatic zones. Besides its economic
and ecological relevance, Populus also serves as a model for elucidating physiological and …

Abiotic stresses, such as drought, salinity and cold, are the major environmental stresses
that adversely affect tree growth and, thus, forest productivity, and play a major role in …

Saline and sodic soils that cannot be used for agriculture occur worldwide. Cultivating stress‐
tolerant trees to obtain biomass from salinized areas has been suggested. Various tree …

Ectomycorrhizas (EMs), which are symbiotic organs formed between tree roots and certain
fungi, can mediate cadmium (Cd) tolerance of host plants, but the underlying physiological …

Using the Affymetrix poplar genome array, we explored the leaf transcriptome of salt-tolerant
Populus euphratica Oliv. and salt-sensitive P. popularis 35-44 (P. popularis) under control …

Variability of cadmium tolerance and distribution in plant organs was investigated in ten
selected poplar clones from different species, hybrids and genotypes. To this end, plants …

The complexity and heterogeneity of lignin requires a detailed understanding in order to
decide about more efficient lignin valorization approaches. This study deals with the …

Water circularity is a challenge which must be met to guarantee the sustainability of this
resource. Woody biomass is another resource of interest for the bioeconomy, which has …

The effect of salt stress on leaf morphology and functionality was studied in three Populus
alba genotypes differing in tolerance to salinity: 6K3 (sensitive), 2AS11 (moderately …

White poplar (Populus alba L.) is native to Eurasia and is unexploited for its growth potential
and stress-adaptive mechanisms. A better knowledge of its genome will allow for more …
