We report the draft genome of the black cottonwood tree, Populus trichocarpa. Integration of shotgun sequence assembly with genetic mapping enabled chromosome-scale reconstruction of the genome. More ...

• In an attempt to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of Melampsora rust resistance in Populus trichocarpa, we have mapped two resistance loci, MXC3 and MER, and intensively characterized the flanking ...

In this study, few-shot learning combined with convolutional neural networks (CNNs) was employed to segment the leaf body and venation of 2,906 Populus trichocarpa leaf images.
