Sommario/riassunto

<P>Written by researchers representing six countries and 28 institutions, this book highlights the development of the genus



<EM>Populus</EM> as a model organism for tree genomics. Reflecting an impressive depth of coverage, the contributors' thorough reviews and analyses of <EM>Populus </EM>genomics provide insight into future discoveries about the basic biology of this fascinating genus and paves the way for applied breeding and genetic improvement of poplars.</P>
