Abstract excerpt
Species within the genus Populus include potential phytoextractors of heavy metal ions from contaminated soils, and genetic markers predictive of performance would be a useful tool for selection and breeding. Here, we have identified sequence variation within seven target and three nontarget genes among a set of 11 Populus spp. clones. Sequence variants were present in both the coding and noncoding regions; the...
