Rapidly evolving genes and stress adaptation of two desert poplars, Populus euphratica and P. pruinosa.

Understanding which genes have evolved rapidly with the recent tree speciation in arid habitats can provide valuable insights into different adaptation mechanisms. We employed a comparative evolutionary analysis of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from two desert poplars, Populus pruinosa and P. euphr...
