Polyploidisation is an important process in the evolution of many plant species. An
additional set of chromosomes can be derived from intraspecific genome duplication …

Over two million hectares of marginal land in the Northeast USA no longer used for
agriculture may be suitable and available for production of second-generation cellulosic …

Genetic improvement through breeding is one of the key approaches to increasing biomass
supply. This paper documents the breeding progress to date for four perennial biomass …

The use of willow plantations can be a sustainable approach for treating primary municipal
wastewater, potentially reducing both the environmental and economic burdens associated …

Polyploidy is a common phenomenon among willow species. In this study, genome
sequencing was conducted for Salix matsudana Koidz (also named Chinese willow), an …

The biomass productivity of the energy willow Salix viminalis as a short-rotation woody crop
depends on organ structure and functions that are under the control of genome size …

Polyploidy is a common observation in the genus Salix, including some of the shrub willow
species currently being bred as a potential bioenergy feedstock. Breeding of shrub willow …

Abstract Background and Aims Increasing energy demands and the necessity to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions are key motivating factors driving the development of …

Bioenergy and biofuels are recognized globally as crucial elements of the future energy
matrix, without which the reduction in greenhouse gases needed to reduce the acceleration …

Premise The evolution of sex chromosomes is driven by sexual dimorphism, yet it can be
challenging to document sexually dimorphic traits in dioecious plant species. At the genetic …
