MULTIPLE APPROACHES TO MAPPING RESISTANCE TO MELAMPSORA LEAF RUST IN SHRUB WILLOW (SALIX)
In commercial production, shrub willow grown as a biomass bioenergy crop can potentially remain in the field for more than 20 years. In these dense plantations, biotic stressors can flourish, impacting biomass yield. Among the most impactful are willow leaf rusts caused by Melampsora spp. As a …

The Genomic Basis of Heterosis in High-Yielding Triploid Hybrids of Willow (Salix spp.) Bioenergy Crops
… from lignocellulosic bioenergy crops such as shrub willow (Salix spp.), can help offset fossil fuel usage without competing with food crops. Hybridization is a key component in shrub willow breeding because hybrids often exhibit heterosis for yield. The genomic basis of heterosis in willow has …

Assessment of perennial bioenergy buffers within a row crop production system
… impacts of strategically placed short-rotation shrub willow (Salix miyabeana ‘SX61’) buffers in a corn-soybean field in central Illinois on nutrient loss reduction and recovery, greenhouse gas emissions, soil health, and biodiversity (invertebrate, plant, and soil microbial). Willows were found …
