Daily variations of water use with vapor pressure deficit in a plantation of I214 poplars. [PDF]
, 2009 Daily rates of whole tree water use were measured in a homogeneous 7-year-old plantation over 84 days. Two trees were selected in the two most contrasting ends, i.e., with mean water table at -1.5 m and -3.5 m. Results showed that the mean tree water use

Profiling of oligolignols reveals monolignol coupling conditions in lignifying poplar xylem [PDF]
, 2004 Lignin is an aromatic heteropolymer, abundantly present in the walls of secondary thickened cells. Although much research has been devoted to the structure and composition of the polymer to obtain insight into lignin polymerization, the low-molecular ...

The Poplar-Poplar Rust Interaction: Insights from Genomics and Transcriptomics [PDF]
Journal of Pathogens, 2011 Poplars are extensively cultivated worldwide, and their susceptibility to the leaf rust fungusMelampsora larici-populinaleads to considerable damages in plantations. Despite a good knowledge of the poplar rust life cycle, and particularly the epidemics on poplar, the perennial status of the plant host and the obligate biotrophic lifestyle of the rust ...

Overexpression of a Prefoldin β subunit gene reduces biomass recalcitrance in the bioenergy crop Populus. [PDF]
, 2020 Prefoldin (PFD) is a group II chaperonin that is ubiquitously present in the eukaryotic kingdom. Six subunits (PFD1-6) form a jellyfish-like heterohexameric PFD complex and function in protein folding and cytoskeleton organization.

Nitrogen forms affect root structure and water uptake in the hybrid poplar [PDF]
, 2011 The study analyses the effects of two different forms of nitrogen fertilisation (nitrate and ammonium) on root structure and water uptake of two hybrid poplar (Populus maximowiczii x P. balsamifera) clones in a field experiment.
