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

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.

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.

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.

Genome-Wide Association Studies to Improve Wood Properties: Challenges and Prospects

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Wood formation is an excellent model system for quantitative trait analysis due to the strong associations between the transcriptional and metabolic traits that contribute to this complex process.

Master regulators of wood formation in Eucalyptus [PDF]

BMC Proceedings, 2011
With the current global focus on bioenergy, forest plantations are increasingly becoming important sources for second generation biofuel, where the whole plant lignocellulosic biomass is to be mobilized. The lignocellulosic biomass is mainly composed of secondary walls (SW) possessing unique characteristics (biochemical composition and tridimensional ...

Age-related phenological and anatomical response of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) under severe summer drought conditions

Journal of Forest Science
The year 2018 was distinguished by a warm summer with extended periods of low or no precipitation. In this context, we investigated the intra-annual dynamics of xylem differentiation phases and quantitative vessel anatomy to analyse the age effect on the

Cambium dynamics of Pinus sylvestris and Betula spp. in the northern boreal forest in Finland

Silva Fennica, 2004
Wood formation dynamics of pine and birch along a south-north transect in Finnish Lapland were determined by the pinning technique. For all trees at all sites a more or less sigmoid shape of the wood formation intensity is characteristic with a slow ...
