Single-cell spatiotemporal transcriptomics reveals the origin, cellular heterogeneity and regulatory network of seed fiber cells in poplar

This study uses single-nucleus RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics to map seed fiber development in poplar, identifying their origin and regulatory network.

Sucrose metabolism and candidate genes during catkin fibers development in poplar

This study identifies sucrose metabolism genes involved in poplar catkin fiber development and suggests they could be targets for genetic engineering to reduce pollution.

Metabolome and transcriptome analysis reveal components regulating soapberry triterpenoid saponin biosynthesis

Combining metabolome and transcriptome analysis to identify saponin kinetic patterns, gene networks, and key candidate genes and transcription factors involved in saponin biosynthesis of soapberry.

Hybrid origin of Populus tomentosa Carr. identified through genome sequencing and phylogenomic analysis

This study identifies the hybrid origin of Populus tomentosa through genome sequencing and phylogenomic analysis, revealing it resulted from hybridization between Populus adenopoda and Populus alba var. pyramidalis around 3.93 Mya.
