ABSTRACT

Numerous plants have been the subject of recent research in the pharmacological, cosmetic, and agro-alimentary domains due to their chemical composition and multiple therapeutic capabilities. Populus trichocarpa is one of the most common trees found in deciduous forests (Salicaceae family). The current study examines Populus trichocarpa as a model plant for plant genomics research, as well as the most recent findings on phytochemical composition and medicinal potential. More than 45,000 potential protein-coding genes were discovered. In the Populus genome, a whole-genome duplication event was discovered, with approximately 8,000 pairs of duplicated genes surviving. Furthermore, the reproductive biology of Populus provides new opportunities and challenges in the study and analysis of natural genetic and phenotypic variation. In the present review, we endeavour to describe and compile the available knowledge on Populus trichocarpa as a model plant for genomic investigations and to bring that material up to date of Populus trichocarpa's phytochemical and medicinal properties.
