Largest Populus SNP Dataset Holds Promise for Biofuels, Materials, Metabolites

Caption

Scientists gleaned data from Populus trees in an ORNL greenhouse as part of the largest-ever single nucleotide polymorphism dataset of the species' genetic variations. The information can be useful in biofuels, materials science and secondary plant metabolism research.
