Cambial Activity of Moringa peregrina (Forssk.) Fiori in Arid Environments

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Moringa peregrina (Forssk.) Fiori, one of 13 species of the Moringaceae family widely distributed throughout the dry tropics, has the potential to become one of the most economically important medicinal plants in Egypt. However, despite its tolerance for

Heterologous over-expression of ACC SYNTHASE8 (ACS8) in Populus tremula x P. alba clone 717-1B4 results in elevated levels of ethylene and induces stem dwarfism and reduced leaf size through separate genetic pathways

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Plant height is an important agronomic and horticultural trait that impacts plant productivity, durability and esthetic appeal. A number of the plant hormones such as gibberellic acid (GA), auxin and ethylene have been linked to control of plant ...

Characterization and Functional Analysis of the Poplar Pectate Lyase-Like Gene PtPL1-18 Reveal Its Role in the Development of Vascular Tissues

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Pectin is a major component of plant cell walls, and the structure of pectin impacts on the properties of wood. Although we know that pectate lyase (PL, EC 4.2.2.2) has a major influence on the structure of pectin, our knowledge of Pectate lyase-like ...

A transcriptional roadmap to wood formation [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2001
The large vascular meristem of poplar trees with its highly organized secondary xylem enables the boundaries between different developmental zones to be easily distinguished. This property of wood-forming tissues allowed us to determine a unique tissue-specific transcript profile for a well defined developmental gradient.

A Novel NAC Transcription Factor From Eucalyptus, EgNAC141, Positively Regulates Lignin Biosynthesis and Increases Lignin Deposition

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Wood formation is a complicated process under the control of a large set of transcription factors. NAC transcription factors are considered “master switches” in this process.

Carbon allocation during defoliation: testing a defence-growth trade-off in balsam fir

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
During repetitive defoliation events, carbon can become limiting for trees. To maintain growth and survival, the resources have to be shared more efficiently, which could result in a trade-off between the different physiological processes of a plant. The

Navigating the transcriptional roadmap regulating plant secondary cell wall deposition

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
The current status of lignocellulosic biomass as an invaluable resource in industry, agriculture and health has spurred increased interest in understanding the transcriptional regulation of secondary cell wall (SCW) biosynthesis.

Tension wood as a model for functional genomics of wood formation [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2004
SummaryWood is a complex and highly variable tissue, the formation of which is developmentally and environmentally regulated. In reaction to gravitropic stimuli, angiosperm trees differentiate tension wood, a wood with specific anatomical, chemical and mechanical features.

Systematic Review: Climate and Non-Climate Factors Influencing Wood Density in the Boreal Zone

BioResources, 2023
Wood density is a crucial factor in determining the quality of wood in boreal ecosystems within the Northern Hemisphere. Climate variables play a significant role in shaping wood density, posing challenges for forest managers and stakeholders in the wood

Association studies in Populus tomentosa reveal the genetic interactions of Pto-MIR156c and its targets in wood formation

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression in many biological processes, but the significance of the interaction between a miRNA and its targets in perennial trees remains largely unknown.
