Abstract excerpt
Leaf rust is one of the most destructive diseases affecting poplar trees worldwide. To develop disease-resistant varieties and identify novel resistance genes, this study investigated leaf rust in 135 Populus germplasm resources from different sections to screen for highly resistant clones. Selective sweep analysis and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were employed to elucidate the genetic basis of leaf...
