Abstract
Flowering is a multistage process that includes acquiring the competency to flower, the transition to flowering in response to environmental and endogenous signals, and the development of floral organs. A non-flowering juvenile phase of several years is typical for Populus and most trees, and in adult Populus, the seasonally recurrent transition to flowering and flower development take nearly a year to complete. This chapter reviews the biology of Populus flowering and discuss the regulation of Populus flowering in a comparative context to Arabidopsis thaliana and other angiosperms.
