Genome-wide association studies reveal the coordinated regulatory networks underlying photosynthesis and wood formation in Populus.

Abstract excerpt

Photosynthesis and wood formation underlie the ability of trees to provide renewable resources and perform ecological functions; however, the genetic basis and regulatory pathways coordinating these two linked processes remain unclear. Here, we used a systems genetics strategy, integrating genome-wide association studies, transcriptomic analyses, and transgenic experiments, to investigate the genetic architecture...
