More than 300 kb of DNA sequence from five Populus bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones was compared with the complete sequence of the Arabidopsis genome to search for collinearity between the genomes of these two plant genera. Approximately 27% of the DNA sequences from the Populus genome were homologous to protein-coding regions in the Arabidopsis genome. BLAST scores and synteny were...

Unintended changes in plant physiology, anatomy and metabolism as a result of genetic engineering are a concern as more transgenic plants are commercially deployed in the ecosystem. We compared the cell wall chemical composition of three Populus lines (Populus trichocarpa Torr. & A. Gray x Populus trichocarpa Bartr. ex Marsh., Populus trichocarpa x Populus nigra L. and Populus deltoides x Popul...

in order to study the qualitative, quantitative characteristics of a pure common populus alba stand in polkalleh & a mixed stand of populus alba & populus nigra in karchegan, two 30-year-old stands were selected with a plantation interval ( spacing) of 2.5 × 1.5 m in each of which 30 pcs of 2 are samples were randomly selected. in each sample pc all the trees diameters were measured using a dia...

این پژوهش با هدف بررسی تاثیر محلول نانو سیلیس بر روی ویژگی­های فیزیکی، مکانیکی و ریخت­شناسی گونه صنوبر دلتوئیدس انجام گردید. نمونه­های آزمونی برای خواص فیزیکی و مکانیکی با استفاده از روش غوطه­وری در محلول نانو سیلیس در دمای آزمایشگاه اشباع شدند. سپس آزمون­های فیزیکی شامل دانسیته بحرانی، هم­کشیدگی و واکشیدگی حجمی و جذب آب بر اساس استاندارد astm و همچنین خواص مکانیکی شامل مقاومت به ضربه، مقاومت ب...

BACKGROUND In plants, 14-3-3 proteins are encoded by a large multigene family and are involved in signaling pathways to regulate plant development and protection from stress. Although twelve Populus 14-3-3s were identified based on the Populus trichocarpa genome V1.1 in a previous study, no systematic analysis including genome organization, gene structure, duplication relationship, evolutionary...

Populus deltoides subsp. wislizinii (Salicaceae), a cottonwood native to the Middle Rio Grande of New Mexico, must potentially compete against exotic Tamarix ramosissima (Tamaricaceae) during establishment after flooding. We investigated competitive interactions between seedlings of Tamarix and Populus in two substrates representing field textures and declining (i.e., draw-down) or stagnant wat...
