Polyploidy, or genome doubling, has occurred repeatedly through plant evolution. While
polyploid plants are used extensively in agriculture and horticulture, they have so far found …

Climate change is threatening the status quo of agricultural production globally. Perennial
cropping systems could be a useful strategy to adapt agriculture to a changing climate …

Poplar (Populus) is a well-established model system for tree genomics and molecular
breeding, and hybrid poplar is widely used in forest plantations. However, distinguishing its …

Successful use of woody species in reducing climatic and environmental risks of energy
shortage and spreading pollution requires deeper understanding of the physiological …

Hybrid vigor and polyploidy are genetic events widely utilized to increase the productivity of
crops. Given that bioenergy usage needs to be expanded, we investigated triploid hybrid …

Many studies have highlighted the complex and diverse basis for heterosis in inbred crops.
Despite the lack of a consensus model, it is vital that we turn our attention to understanding …

Bioenergy production from short rotation woody species grown on saline soil provides
multiple environmental advantages. Breeding of energy willow for salinity tolerance can …

The Salicaceae family is of scientific interest for both biomass production and for the study of
sex chromosome evolution and sex determination in plants. Salicaceae includes two genera …
