Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Populus deltoides is a valuable timber species of considerable importance in the study of forest genetic breeding. However, its genetic improvement continues to rely predominantly on conventional selection and hybridization strategies hampered by long breeding cycles and limited efficiency. RESULTS: A total of 209 P. deltoides accessions were genotyped using a 60K SNP (Single nucleotide polymorphism)...
