Phenotypic plasticity, QTL mapping and genomic characterization of bud set in black poplar

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The genetic control of important adaptive traits, such as bud set, is still poorly understood in most forest trees species. Poplar is an ideal model tree to study bud set because of its indeterminate shoot growth. Thus, a full-sib fa...
