Association studies in Populus tomentosa reveal the genetic interactions of Pto-MIR156c and its targets in wood formation

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression in many biological processes, but the significance of the interaction between a miRNA and its targets in perennial trees remains largely unknown. Here, we employed transcript profiling and association studies in Populus tomentosa (Pto) to decipher the effe...
