Wood (also termed secondary xylem) is the most abundant biomass produced by plants,
and is one of the most important sinks for atmospheric carbon dioxide. The development of …

Plant cell walls provide structural support for growth and serve as a barrier for pathogen
attack. Plant cell walls are also a source of renewable biomass for conversion to biofuels …

Functional enrichment analysis is a key step in interpreting gene lists discovered in diverse
high-throughput experiments. g: Profiler studies flat and ranked gene lists and finds …

Stem vascular cambium cells in forest trees produce wood for materials and energy. WOX4
affects the proliferation of such cells in Populus. Here we show that Ptr WOX4a is the most …

Trees represent the largest terrestrial carbon sink and a renewable source of ligno-cellulose.
There is significant scope for yield and quality improvement in these largely undomesticated …

Plants develop tolerance to drought by activating genes with altered levels of epigenetic
modifications. Specific transcription factors are involved in this activation, but the molecular …

High‐throughput single‐cell RNA sequencing (scRNA‐seq) has advantages over traditional
RNA‐seq to explore spatiotemporal information on gene dynamic expressions in …

The amino acid phenylalanine (Phe) is a critical metabolic node that plays an essential role
in the interconnection between primary and secondary metabolism in plants. Phe is used as …

Cell walls in plants, particularly forest trees, are the major carbon sink of the terrestrial
ecosystem. Chemical and biosynthetic features of plant cell walls were revealed early on …

Wood remains the world's most abundant and renewable resource for timber and pulp and
is an alternative to fossil fuels. Understanding the molecular regulation of wood formation …
