Metabolic Engineering of Wood Formation
2013Wood is one of the most abundant composite materials on earth consisting primarily of cellulose, noncellulosic polysaccharides and lignin. It is a sustainable and quite versatile natural resource that can be processed into many useful products including biofuels, biochemicals, wood pellets, pulp and paper, fibres, biocomposites and timber.

Functional Genomics of Wood Formation
2003Wood is of primary importance to humans as timber for construction, and wood-pulp for paper manufacturing. It is also the most environmentally costeffective renewable source of energy. Resolving the dilemma of preserving forest ecosystems, while meeting the increasing demand of forest utilization, necessitates gaining a fundamental understanding of the

Arabidopsis as a model for wood formation
Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2011Wood (secondary xylem) is one of the most important sustainable energy sources for humans. Arabidopsis, despite its herbaceous nature, has become an excellent model to study wood formation. Recent progress has shown that conserved molecular mechanisms may exist in herbaceous plants and trees during vascular development and wood formation.

Brassinosteroid regulation of wood formation in poplar
New Phytologist, 2019Summary Brassinosteroids have been implicated in the differentiation of vascular cell types in herbaceous plants, but their roles during secondary growth and wood formation are not well defined. Here we pharmacologically and genetically manipulated brassinosteroid levels in poplar trees and assayed the effects on secondary growth and wood formation,

Genetic Engineering of Wood Formation
2000Not many years after its discovery, the plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) was demonstrated to activate cambial growth when applied to sunflower hypocotyls (Snow, 1935). In subsequent studies it was shown that IAA is involved in the control of several aspects of secondary growth, in particular the maintenance of the vascular cambium, the ...

Genetic Controls in Wood Formation
1995An explanation has already been given in Chapter 1 about how external factors (environmental), combined with internal factors, control the formation and qualities of wood. Both external and internal factors influence the physiology of the tree which, in turn, determines the kind of wood formed. Thus, without a good knowledge of physiology, one can only
