Populus species have long been used as model organisms to study the adaptability of trees
and the evolution of sex chromosomes. As a species belonging to the section Populus and …

Genetic determination of gender is a fundamental developmental and evolutionary process
in plants. Although it appears that dioecy in Populus is genetically controlled, the precise …

Reference-quality genomes of both sexes are essential for studying sex determination and
sex-chromosome evolution, as their gene contents and expression profiles differ. Here, we …

The genus Populus is an effective model in tree genetics. This genus includes dioecious
species and, recently, whole genome resequencing of P. trichocarpa and P. balsamifera …

The genus Populus is presented by dioecious species, and it became a promising object to
study the genetics of sex in plants. In this work, genomes of male and female Populus× …

The genus Populus consists of dioecious woody species with largely unknown genetic
mechanisms for gender determination. We have discovered genetic and genomic features in …

White poplar (Populus alba L.) is native to Eurasia and is unexploited for its growth potential
and stress-adaptive mechanisms. A better knowledge of its genome will allow for more …

The ages and sizes of a sex-determination region (SDR) are difficult to determine in non-
model species. Due to the lack of recombination and enrichment of repetitive elements in …

Background Sex chromosomes have arisen independently in a wide variety of species, yet
they share common characteristics, including the presence of suppressed recombination …

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 …
