About Stephen DiFazio

Stephen DiFazio, With an exceptional h-index of 48 and a recent h-index of 30 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at West Virginia University, specializes in the field of forest tree genomics, biotechnology risk assessment, genome evolution, Populus.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Spatiotemporal metabolic responses to water deficit stress in distinct leaf cell-types of poplar

Genetic underpinnings of arthropod community distributions in Populus trichocarpa

Evolution of a ZW sex chromosome system in willows

Phylogenomics reveals patterns of ancient hybridization and differential diversification that contribute to phylogenetic conflict in willows, poplars, and close relatives

Structural variation of a sex‐linked region confers monoecy and implicates GATA15 as a master regulator of sex in Salix purpurea

High-resolution mapping reveals hotspots and sex-biased recombination in Populus trichocarpa

Gene-editing for production traits in forest trees: challenges to integration and gene target identification

An unusual origin of a ZW sex chromosome system
