High-quality genome assembly enables prediction of allele-specific gene expression in hybrid poplar.

Scientists obtained complete haplotype-phased genome assemblies for the parents of a hybrid poplar. They analyzed gene expression patterns and developed machine-learning models to predict allele-specific expression. These tools can aid in functional studies and understanding genetic factors influencing gene expression in poplar hybrids.

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of 'Quanhong poplar' (Populus deltoides W. Bartram ex Humphry Marshall, 2011).

Scientists sequenced the chloroplast genome of 'Quanhong poplar', a rare reddish-purple cultivar, with 130 predicted genes. This data can aid breeders in developing plants with desired leaf colors.
