Forests are potential habitats for immense terrestrial ecosystems and aquatic biodiversity, performing an essential role in ecological preservation regulation of climate. The anthropogenic pressures on the forests lead to forest loss, fragmentation degradation. Requirements sustainable methodologies protection utmost priority under climate change regime. Among trees, poplar trees ( Populus L.) have attracted attention global forestry as a promising material improving quality quantity urban landscapes. These plants provide wood, which can be utilized raw resources paper industry source biofuel. However, several biotic stresses, such attacks by pests pathogens, severely affect production productivity. improvement through conventional tree breeding methods is restricted due their long-life cycles lack suitable donors with resistance genes. has been model plant studying gene functions its highly efficient genetic transformation capabilities. present review will comprehensive overview pest pathogen poplar, focusing infection mechanisms, transmission routes, control strategies. Additionally, it examine most widely used (gene gun-mediated, Agrobacterium tumefaciens -mediated, protoplast transformation, micro-RNA mediated clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated (CRISPR-Cas) systems RNA interference) tolerance against pathogens attack. Furthermore, delve into prospects, challenges, recent advances molecular biology tools safe application improve insect trees. Finally, regeneration transgenic enhanced resistance, developed various engineering techniques, discussed.
