Characterizations of plant genetic resources based on molecular markers have been
increased in the last years. Studies using a broad range of markers applied on hundreds of …

The seasonal timing of growth events is crucial to tree distribution and conservation. The
seasonal growth cycle is strongly adapted to the local climate that is changing because of …

Black poplar (Populus nigra L.) is a keystone species for riparian ecosystems in Europe. We
analysed the structure of genetic diversity of 17 populations from 11 river valleys that are …

Damask roses are grown in several European and Asiatic countries for rose oil production.
Twenty-six oil-bearing Rosa damascena Mill. accessions and 13 garden Damask roses …

It is recognized that introgressive hybridization and gene flow from domesticated species
into their wild relatives can have a profound effect on the persistence and evolution of wild …

Black poplar (Populus nigra L.) is a tree of ecological and economic interest. A better
knowledge of P. nigra genome is needed for an effective protection and use of its genetic …

Leaf morphology in Populus L. varies extensively among sections, species and clones
under strong genetic control. P. nigra L.(section Aigeiros), with large and triangular leaves, is …

Whole genome resequencing of 51 Populus nigra (L.) individuals from across Western
Europe was performed using Illumina platforms. A total number of 1 878 727 SNP s …

Abstract Background Black cottonwood (Populus deltoides) is one of the keystone forest tree
species, and has become the main breeding parents in poplar hybrid breeding. However …

The first part of the chapter reviews the genetic systems of Populus and Salix and how they
form the basis for the various domestication and conservation options available today. The …
