Dynamic transcriptomic analysis of the early response of female flowers of Populus alba × P. glandulosa to pollination

Abstract Pollination is an important event in plant sexual reproduction, and post-pollination response is an essential process for reproduction. Populus alba × P. glandulosa is used widely in scientific research, especially in cross breeding as parents. Adult female P. alba × P. glandulosa flowers a...
