Genotypic differences and prior defoliation affect re-growth and phytochemistry after coppicing in Populus tremuloides.

Abstract excerpt

Although considerable research has explored how tree growth and defense can be influenced by genotype, the biotic environment, and their interaction, little is known about how genotypic differences, prior defoliation, and their interactive effects persist in trees that re-grow after damage that severs their primary stem. To address these issues, we established a common garden consisting of twelve genotypes of...
