This study assesses the adaptation of Populus trees to flooding stress. Due to current and predicted changes in the climate, there is an increased need for research into tolerant species to be grown for both flood defence and as crops. Two species of Populus that naturally hybridise were used to assess the adaptation to flooding stress. Due to differences in their native habitat, Populus alba and Populus tremula, are predicted to be relatively flood tolerant and flood sensitive species respectively. Here, they were used to highlight key physiological mechanisms related to flood tolerance and to elucidate genes underlying these processes. This will aid the development of flood tolerant crops and improve understanding of adaptation to floodin...
