Comparative transcriptomic analysis uncovers conserved pathways involved in adventitious root formation in poplar.

ABSTRACT: Cutting propagation is widely used in establishing poplar plantations, and this approach requires efficient adventitious root (AR) forming capacities. Although poplar species are considered to form roots easily, interspecific variations in AR formation are still observed. To better understand the gene regulatory network underlying the conserved modified pathways that are essential for AR formation in poplar species, comparative transcriptomic approaches were applied to identify the conserved common genes that were differentially expressed during the AR formation processes in two poplar species (Populus × euramericana and P. simonii) in woody plant medium (WPM). A total of 2146 genes were identified as conserved genes that shared similar gene expression profiles in at l
