RNA-seq of eight different poplar clones reveals conserved up-regulation of gene expression in response to insect herbivory
Abstract Background Herbivorous insects can have a profound impact on plant growth performance. In some years, canopy damage in poplar plantations exceeds 50% of the total leaf surface, thereby possibly compromising carbon fixation and biomass yield. To assess the transcriptional response of elite p...
