Insights of Molecular Mechanism of Xylem Development in Five Black Poplar Cultivars.

ABSTRACT: Black poplar (Populus deltoides, P. nigra, and their hybrids) is the main poplar cultivars in China. It offers interesting options of large-scale biomass production for bioenergy due to its rapid growth and high yield. Poplar wood properties were associated with chemical components and physical structures during wood formation. In this study, five poplar cultivars, P. euramericana 'Zhonglin46' (Pe1), P. euramericana 'Guariento' (Pe2), P. nigra 'N179' (Pn1), P. deltoides 'Danhong' (Pd1), and P. deltoides 'Nanyang' (Pd2), were used to explore the molecular mechanism of xylem development. We analyzed the structural differences of developing xylem in the five cultivars and profiled the transcriptome-wide gene expression patterns through RNA sequ
