Summary The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) sensu lato (sl), comprising the platform, the
Himalaya and the Hengduan Mountains, is characterized by a large number of endemic …

Studying the genetics of adaptation to new environments in ecologically and industrially
important tree species is currently a major research line in the fields of plant science and …

Hundreds of land plant lineages have independently evolved separate sexes in either
gametophytes (dioicy) or sporophytes (dioecy), but 43% of all dioecious angiosperms are …

Radiations are especially important for generating species biodiversity in mountainous
ecosystems. The contribution of hybridization to such radiations has rarely been examined …

Hybridization and resulting introgression are important processes shaping the tree of life
and appear to be far more common than previously thought. However, how the genome …

Almost all plants in the genus Populus are dioecious (ie trees are either male or female), but
it is unknown whether dioecy evolved in a common ancestor or independently in different …

Background Salicaceae species have diverse sex determination systems and frequent sex
chromosome turnovers. However, compared with poplars, the diversity of sex determination …

Dioecy, the presence of separate sexes on distinct individuals, has evolved repeatedly in
multiple plant lineages. However, the specific mechanisms by which sex systems evolve and …

Populus euphratica is well adapted to extreme desert environments and is an important
model species for elucidating the mechanisms of abiotic stress resistance in trees. The …

Populus species play a foundational role in diverse ecosystems and are important
renewable feedstocks for bioenergy and bioproducts. Hybrid aspen Populus tremula× P …
