Molecular population genetics of elicitor-induced resistance genes in European aspen (Populus tremula L., Salicaceae).

Abstract excerpt

Owing to their long life span and ecological dominance in many communities, forest trees are subject to attack from a diverse array of herbivores throughout their range, and have therefore developed a large number of both constitutive and inducible defenses. We used molecular population genetics methods to examine the evolution of eight genes in European aspen, Populus tremula, that are all associated with...
