Article
Transcription factors often contain several different functional regions, including DNA-binding domains, and play an important regulatory role in plant growth, development, and the response to external stimuli. YABYY transcription factors are plant-specific and contain two special domains (N-terminal C2C2 zinc-finger and C-terminal helix-loop-helix...

Hydrolyzable tannins (HTs), predominant polyphenols in oaks, are widely used in grape wine aging, feed additives, and human healthcare. However, the limited availability of a high‐quality reference genome of oaks greatly hampered the recognition of the mechanism of HT biosynthesis. Here, high‐quality reference genomes of three Asian oak species (Qu...

Species of Populus section Leuce are distributed throughout most parts of the Northern Hemisphere and have important economic and ecological significance. However, due to frequent hybridization within Leuce, the phylogenetic relationship between species has not been clarified. The chloroplast (cp) genome is characterized by maternal inheritance and...

Key message The NF-Y gene family was identified and characterized in Populus trichocarpa by genome-wide analysis. Expression of PtoNF-Y was analyzed during floral bud development in Populus tomentosa. Abstract Nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) is a transcription factor widely found in eukaryotes. It is composed of three subunits: NF-YA, NF-YB, and NF-YC. NF-...
Article
Poplar is an important tree species for ecological protection, wood production, bioenergy and urban greening; it has been widely planted worldwide. However, the catkin fibers produced by female poplars can cause environmental pollution and safety hazards during spring. This study focused on Populus tomentosa, and revealed the sucrose metabolism reg...
Article
Quercus variabilis and Quercus aliena are two native tree species in China, which have similar habitats, and their regeneration mainly depends on acorn dispersal. This study analyzed the contents of water, soluble sugar, starch, soluble protein, and total phenolics in acorns and cupules during the whole development process to explore the difference...

Quercus aliena is an economically important tree species and one of the dominant native oak species in China. Although its leaves typically turn yellow in autumn, we observed natural variants with red leaves. It is important to understand the mechanisms involved in leaf color variation in this species. Therefore, we compared a Q. aliena tree with y...

Oaks (Quercus spp.) are considered model plants for studying plant evolution and natural gene introgression. Beijing area is at the junction between Taihang Mountain and Yanshan Mountain, and it is an overlapping distribution area of several deciduous oaks native to China. Interspecific hybridization often occurs in sympatric sibling species, resul...

Koelreuteria paniculata is widely distributed in Asia and introduced to Europe and North America. K. paniculata 'jinye' is a mutant variety used in landscaping that has a golden leaf color phenotype. Although similar leaf color variants occur in plants, little is known of the underlying mechanism. We performed physiological, anatomical, microRNA se...

RT-qPCR is considered a rapid and reliable technique for analyzing gene expression. This technique is commonly used to analyze the expression of various genes at diverse transcriptional levels in different samples. However, few studies have characterized ornamental Koelreuteria species for reliable reference genes. In this study, eight reference ge...

Populus has a wide ecogeographical range spanning the Northern Hemisphere, and interspecific hybrids are common. Populus tomentosa Carr. is widely distributed and cultivated in the eastern region of Asia, where it plays multiple important roles in forestry, agriculture, conservation, and urban horticulture. Reference genomes are available for sever...
Article
Trehalose plays an important role in plant metabolism, growth development, and stress tolerance. Trehalose-6-phosphate synthase gene (TPS) and trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase gene (TPP) are vital for the synthesis of trehalose. Populus is a prominent perennial woody plant, in which systematic genome-wide analysis of the TPS and TPP family is limi...

Populus has a wide ecogeographical range spanning the Northern Hemisphere, and exhibits abundant distinct species and hybrids globally. Populus tomentosa Carr. is widely distributed and cultivated in the eastern region of Asia, where it plays multiple important roles in forestry, agriculture, conservation, and urban horticulture. Reference genomes...
Article
Populus is a major industrial tree species used for bioenergy, timber and pulp manufacturing, which requires an appropriate growth regulation mechanism for long-term survival in response to seasonal climatic changes. As two key processes during life cycle both controlled by photoperiod and temperature, flowering and dormancy have been suggested to...

Research Highlights: In the current study, we established a method for plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis (SE) in Koelreuteria paniculata Laxm. for the first time. Background and Objectives: K. paniculata is an important ornamental and medicinal plant in China. However, the plant has difficulty with asexual reproduction, which imposes a l...

To obtain a comprehensive overview of the dynamic transcriptome during male floral bud development in Populus tomentosa, high-throughput RNA-seq was conducted during eight flowering-related stages. Among the 109,212 de novo assembled unigenes, 6,959 were differentially expressed during the eight stages. The overrepresented classed of genes identifi...

Pollination is an important event in plant sexual reproduction, and post-pollination response is an essential process for reproduction. Populus alba × P. glandulosa is used widely in scientific research, especially in cross breeding as parents. Adult female P. alba × P. glandulosa flowers are highly compatible with pollen from male P. tomentosa, bu...

Background and Objective: Koelreuteria as important native tree species, have multiple ornamental, ecological and medicinal values. However, research on the germplasm resources of Koelreuteria is relatively limited and relies primarily on the use of morphological differences to distinguish trees; thus the aim of this study was to develop effective...

APETALA1 plays a crucial role in floral transition from vegetative to reproductive phase and in flower development. In this study, a comprehensive analysis of AP1 homologues in poplar was performed by describing the gene structure and chromosomal location. The phylogenetic relationship of the deduced amino acid sequences of Arabidopsis AP1 and AP1...
