Effects of Hybrid Poplar (Salicaceae) Clone and Phenology on Gypsy Moth (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) Performance in Wisconsin [PDF]
, 2017 Gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) developmental interactions with two hybrid Populus species clones were studied in laboratory trials. Significant differences in larval performance were found between clones and within the same clone at different phenological

Phylogenomic Analysis and Dynamic Evolution of Chloroplast Genomes in Salicaceae
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Chloroplast genomes of plants are highly conserved in both gene order and gene content. Analysis of the whole chloroplast genome is known to provide much more informative DNA sites and thus generates high resolution for plant phylogenies. Here, we report

Delayed postglacial colonization of Betula in Iceland and the circum North Atlantic [PDF]
eLife, 2023 As the Arctic continues to warm, woody shrubs are expected to expand northward. This process, known as ‘shrubification,’ has important implications for regional biodiversity, food web structure, and high-latitude temperature amplification.

Four near-complete genome assemblies reveal the landscape and evolution of centromeres in Salicaceae [PDF]
Genome BiologyBackground Centromeres play a crucial role in maintaining genomic stability during cell division. They are typically composed of large arrays of tandem satellite repeats, which hinder high-quality assembly and complicate our efforts to understand their ...

Characterization of a large sex determination region in Salix purpurea L. (Salicaceae) [PDF]
Molecular Genetics and Genomics, 2018 Dioecy has evolved numerous times in plants, but heteromorphic sex chromosomes are apparently rare. Sex determination has been studied in multiple Salix and Populus (Salicaceae) species, and P. trichocarpa has an XY sex determination system on chromosome
