Phylogenomics of the genus Populus reveals extensive interspecific gene flow and balancing selection
Mingcheng Wang,Lei Zhang,Zhiyang Zhang,Mengmeng Li,Deyan Wang,Xu Zhang,Zhenxiang Xi,Ken Keefover-Ring,Lawrence B. Smart,Stephen P. DiFazio,Matthew S. Olson,Tongming Yin,Jianquan Liu,Jianquan Liu,Tao Ma +14 more
TL;DR: The authors' results indicated that gene flow has been widespread within each clade and also occurred among the four clades during their early divergence, and provided a framework for the diversification of model tree genus that will facilitate future comparative studies.

A General Model to Explain Repeated Turnovers of Sex Determination in the Salicaceae
Wenlu Yang,Deyan Wang,Yiling Li,Zhiyang Zhang,Shaofei Tong,Mengmeng Li,Xu Zhang,Lei Zhang,Liwen Ren,Xinzhi Ma,Ran Zhou,Brian J. Sanderson,Brian J. Sanderson,Ken Keefover-Ring,Tongming Yin,Lawrence B. Smart,Jianquan Liu,Jianquan Liu,Stephen P. DiFazio,Matthew S. Olson,Tao Ma +20 more
TL;DR: This study provides new insights into the diversification of incipient sex chromosomes in flowering plants by showing how transposition and rearrangement of a single gene can control sex in both XY and ZW systems.

Improved genome assembly provides new insights into genome evolution in a desert poplar (Populus euphratica)
Zhiyang Zhang,Yang Chen,Junlin Zhang,Xinzhi Ma,Yiling Li,Mengmeng Li,Deyan Wang,Minghui Kang,Haolin Wu,Yongzhi Yang,Matthew S. Olson,Stephen P. DiFazio,Dongshi Wan,Jianquan Liu,Jianquan Liu,Tao Ma +15 more
TL;DR: This high‐quality genome of P. euphratica represents a valuable resource for poplar breeding and genetic improvement in the future, as well as comparative genomic analysis with other Salicaceae species.

Repeated turnovers keep sex chromosomes young in willows
Deyan Wang,Yiling Li,Mengmeng Li,Wenlu Yang,Xinzhi Ma,Lei Zhang,Yubo Wang,Yanlin Feng,Yuanyuan Zhang,Ran Zhou,Brian J. Sanderson,Ken Keefover-Ring,Tongming Yin,Lawrence B. Smart,Stephen P. DiFazio,Jianquan Liu,Matthew S. Olson,Tao-Yan Ma +17 more
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper found that the sex determination mechanism of willows may have underlying similarities with poplars, both involving intact and/or partial homologs of a type A cytokinin response regulator (RR) gene.
