Gene Expression Differences between High-Growth Populus Allotriploids and Their Diploid Parents

Polyploid breeding is important in Populus genetic improvement programs because polyploid trees generally display increased height growth compared to their diploid parents. However, the genetic mechanism underlying this phenomenon remains unknown. In the present study, apical bud transcriptomes of v...
