The paper uses machine learning to identify repellent odorants for honey bees, validated in both lab and field settings, showing potential for pesticide mitigation.

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

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.
