    Populus: A Premier Pioneer System for Plant Genomics 1 1 Populus: A Premier Pioneer System for Plant Genomics Stephen P. DiFazio,1,a,* Gancho T. Slavov 1,b and Chandrashekhar P. Joshi 2 ABSTRACT The genus Populus has emerged as one of the premier systems for studying multiple aspects of tree biology, combining diverse ecological characteristics, a suite of hybridization complexes in natural systems, an extensive toolbox of genetic and genomic tools, and biological characteristics that facilitate experimental manipulation. Here we review some of the salient biological characteristics that have made this genus such a popular object of study. We begin with the taxonomic status of Populus, which is now a subject of ongoing debate, though it is becoming increasingly clear that molecular phylogenies are accumulating. We also cover some of the life history traits that characterize the genus, including the pioneer habit, long-distance pollen and seed dispersal, and extensive vegetative propagation. In keeping with the focus of this book, we highlight the genetic diversity of the genus, including patterns of differentiation among populations, inbreeding, nucleotide diversity, and linkage disequilibrium for species from the major commercially- important sections of the genus. We conclude with an overview of the extent and rapid spread of global Populus culture, which is a testimony to the growing economic importance of this fascinating genus.

  • Santa Ana Pueblo Cottonwood Growth Studies
    Cottonwood Growth and Bosque Restoration Along the Middle Rio Grande at Santa Ana Pueblo, NM Middle Rio Grande Bosque Initiative 2005 Cottonwood Growth and Restoration Along the Middle Rio Grande at Santa Ana Pueblo, NM Esteban Muldavin P.I., Amanda Browder, and Elizabeth Milford New Mexico Natural Heritage Program Museum of Southwestern Biology University of New Mexico January 2005 ABSTRACT The effects on the growth of Rio Grande cottonwood (Populus deltoides ssp. wislizeni) following the understory removal of exotic trees and shrubs from stands along the Rio Grande at Santa Ana Pueblo, NM was addressed in the context of river discharge and precipitation. Complete understory removal of Russian olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia) and saltcedar (Tamarisk ramosissima) was conducted in 1998 in two stands while two adjacent stands received limited or no thinning. Dendro-ecological methods were applied to measure annual cottonwood tree growth between 1979 and 2002 and then post-treatment growth from 1998 through 2002 was compared between cleared and uncleared stands relative to the previous twenty years. While all four stands superficially looked to be of similar ages, they in fact were established nearly a decade apart beginning around 1939 and becoming progressively younger downstream and as the active channel was approached. The youngest stand was established around 1959. There were definite patterns of growth that corresponded to extremes in growing-season river discharge as regulated by Cochiti Dam (40 km upstream), and, to a limited degree, antecedent winter precipitation. But these factors were not entirely consistent and distance from the river, channel incision, groundwater patterns, soils differences, and tree age, along with intra-annual variation in water availability and temperature may be important.

  • Cottonwood an American Wood United States Department of Agriculture FS-23 I
    Fore~t m. Service Cottonwood An American Wood United States Department of Agriculture FS-23 I Two species of cottonwood trees in the United States are commercially impor­ tant: eastern cottonwood and black cot­ tonwood. Eastern cottonwood is the more important of these. Wood of both species is similar in appearance and properties, being light in weight and color with a fairly straight grain and uniform texture. It is not strong and decays rapidly in damp areas or when in contact with soil. It is used prin­ cipally for lightweight containers or those requiring an absence of odor or taste, and for interior parts of furniture, core stock in plywood, and high-grade pulp for paper production. '. An American Wood Cottonwood (Populus deltoides Bartr. ex Marsh. and P. trichocarpa Torr. & Gray) Harvey E. Kennedy , Jr. ' Distribution Cottonwood is the general name used for about a dozen closely related trees native to the United States. However, of these only eastern cottonwood and black cottonwood are commercially im­ portant for timber production. Eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides) grows in every State, except Maine, Massachusetts, and Delaware, from the Great Plains eastward (fig. 1), mostly on river bottom lands, rarely in the mountains. Commercially, it is most important along the Mississippi River and its major tributaries. Black cottonwood, Populus trichocarpa, largest of the American species of Populus grows along the Pacific Coast from Kodiak Island and Kenai Penin­ sula through southeastern Alaska to northern California (fig 2). It is also found along the Coast Ranges and Sierra Nevada to southern California and northern Mexico.

Braatne1, S.J. Brunsfeld2, V.D. Hipkins3, and B.L. Wilson3 ABSTRACT.—Historic botanical surveys documented that the natural distribution of the plains cottonwood (Populus deltoides subsp. monilifera) was limited to semiarid drainages east of the Rocky Mountains. Recently, a number of iso- lated populations of plains cottonwood have been found along the Kootenai, lower Snake, and Columbia Rivers and their tributaries.

  • Growth of Eastern Cottonwoods (Populus Deltoides) in Elevated [CO2]

Annually coppiced stands of eastern cottonwoods (Populus deltoides) were grown under ambient (400 ppm) and two levels of elevated (800 and 1200 ppm) atmospheric [CO2] in carbon and N-replete soils of the Intensive Forestry Mesocosm in the B2L. The large semiclosed space of B2L uniquely enabled precise CO2 exchange measurements at the near ecosystem scale.

  • The Effect of Beauveria Bassiana on Brazilian Poplar Moth Condylorrhiza Vestigialis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)
    JOURNAL OF PLANT PROTECTION RESEARCH Vol. 52, No. 1 (2012) THE EFFECT OF BEAUVERIA BASSIANA ON BRAZILIAN POPLAR MOTH CONDYLORRHIZA VESTIGIALIS (LEPIDOPTERA: CRAMBIDAE) Mário Henrique Ferreira do Amaral Dal Pogetto*, Carlos Frederico Wilcken Department of Vegetal Production, Sector of Plant Protection College of Agronomic Sciences, São Paulo State University 18610-307 Botucatu, Brazil Received: February 21, 2011 Accepted: June 7, 2011 Abstract: The Brazilian poplar moth is the most important pest of poplar plantations in Brazil. This research evaluated the effect of Beauveria bassiana Bals. (Vuill.) on the mortality and development of Condylorrhiza vestigialis Guen. (Lepidoptera: Crambidae). The aim was to develop alternative methods for management of this pest. The pathogens were sprayed on poplar leaves and .consequently, the pathogens reached the caterpillars. Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki Berliner was sprayed as the standard treatment. The spray for the control was distilled water. Both pathogens B. bassiana and B. thuringiensis affected insect development with increase mortality at each stage of the insect cycle, reaching a satisfactory control level. Microbial control of Brazilian poplar moth with B. bassiana is promising. Tests with other strains and species of pathogens, mainly under field conditions, were also encouraging. This is the first report about the action of B. bassiana against C. vestigialis.
