Linking transcript, QTL and association mapping to understand the genetic control of leaf size and shape in Populus

Leaf size in Populus is an adaptive trait and early indicator of biomass yield. In order to investigate the genetic variance contributing to this variation in leaf size a collection of Populus nigra L. were made from across Europe and were planted at a single site in Belgium, in a fully randomized a...
