Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Chloroplasts have their own genomes, independent from nuclear genomes, that play vital roles in growth, which is a major targeted trait for genetic improvement in Populus. Angiosperm chloroplast genomes are maternally inherited, but the chloroplast' variation pattern of poplar at the single-base level during the transmission from mother to offspring remains unknown. RESULTS: Here, we constructed...
