Genetic mapping of quantitative traits requires genotypic data for large numbers of markers
in many individuals. For such studies, the use of large single nucleotide polymorphism …

As the evolutionary significance of hybridization is largely dictated by its extent beyond the
first generation, we broadly surveyed patterns of introgression across a sympatric zone of …

Gene copy number variations (CNVs) involved in phenotypic variations have already been
shown in plants, but genomewide testing of CNVs for adaptive variation was not doable until …

Abstract Background and Aims Hybridization and introgression play an important role in the
evolution and diversification of plants. To assess the degree of past and current …

• Premise of the study: Poplars and their hybrids are seen as important candidates for
bioenergy initiatives. However, many concerns have been raised about large‐scale …

Poplars are trees of the angiosperm genus Populus, a group of generally diploid, dioecious,
and deciduous pioneers that are widespread in forests around the Northern Hemisphere …

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

Hybridization and introgression are pervasive evolutionary phenomena that provide insight
into the selective forces that maintain species boundaries, permit gene flow, and control the …

Consumers, retailers, investors, and governments want quality products that are both safe
and obtained through legal and sustainable practices. The solution put into place to meet …

Background Populus is an ecologically and economically important genus of trees, but
distinguishing between wild species is relatively difficult due to extensive interspecific …
