Potassium availability and acquisition are pivotal for the generation of biomass and thus wood formation in growing poplar trees. Here, we focus on the role of potassium (K+) in wood production, transitions between dormancy and active growth, and limiting environmental conditions. Molecular mechanisms, such as expression and activity of K+ transporters and channels controlling seasonal changes in wood formation, are discussed.
