Plastome Sequences Help to Resolve Deep-Level Relationships of Populus in the Family Salicaceae
Populus, a core genus of Salicaceae, plays a significant ecological role as a source of pioneer species in boreal forests. However, interspecific hybridization and high levels of morphological variation among poplars have resulted in great difficulty in classifying species for systematic and compara...
