Association mapping in Salix viminalis L. (Salicaceae) – identification of candidate genes associated with growth and phenology

Abstract Willow species (Salix) are important as short‐rotation biomass crops for bioenergy, which creates a demand for faster genetic improvement and breeding through deployment of molecular marker‐assisted selection (MAS). To find markers associated with important adaptive traits, such as growth a...
