Molecular Insights into the Genetic Diversity, Population Structure, and Evolutionary Relationships of Populus × canescens (Aiton) Sm. in Western Kazakhstan
Populus × canescens (Aiton) Sm. is a natural hybrid between Populus alba L. and Populus tremula L., but its genetic diversity and population structure in Western Kazakhstan remain poorly characterized. Here, we investigated 12 individuals representing five geographically separated populations in the West Kazakhstan Reg...
