Premise The huge diversity of Salix subgenus Chamaetia/Vetrix clade in North America and
the lack of phylogenetic resolution within this clade has presented a difficult but fascinating …

The large and diverse genus Salix L. is of particular interest for decades of biological
research. However, despite the morphological plasticity, the reconstruction of phylogenetic …

Poplars (genus Populus) and willows (genus Salix) are members of the Salicaceae, a family
of catkin-bearing trees, shrubs and sub-shrubs. Poplar is considered the model system for …

Background Willows are widely distributed in the northern hemisphere and have good
adaptability to different living environment. The increasing of genome and transcriptome …

Abstract Background Salix (willow) and Populus (poplar) are members of the Salicaceae
family and they share many ecological as well as genetic and genomic characteristics. The …

Salix L. is the largest genus in the family Salicaceae (450 species). Several classifications
have been published, but taxonomic subdivision has been under continuous revision. Our …

Phylogenetic analysis is complicated by interspecific gene flow and the presence of shared
ancestral polymorphisms, particularly those maintained by balancing selection. In this study …
