Research toward renewable and sustainable energy has identified specific terpenes
capable of supplementing or replacing current petroleum-derived fuels. Despite being …

Wood is the most abundant biomass produced by land plants and is mainly used for timber,
pulping, and paper making. Wood (secondary xylem) is derived from vascular cambium, and …

Lignocellulosic biomass, encompassing cellulose, lignin and hemicellulose in plant
secondary cell walls (SCWs), is the most abundant source of renewable materials on earth …

Perennial woody plants hold vital ecological significance, distinguished by their unique
traits. While significant progress has been made in their genomic and functional studies, a …

Unlike herbaceous plants, woody plants undergo volumetric growth (aka secondary growth)
through wood formation, during which the secondary xylem (ie, wood) differentiates from the …

The regulation of cytokinin on secondary vascular development has been uncovered by
modulating cytokinin content. However, it remains unclear how cytokinin enriched in …

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 …

The plant cell wall is a complex, heterogeneous structure primarily composed of cellulose,
hemicelluloses, and lignin. Exploring the variations in these three macromolecules over time …

As a consequence of their remarkable adaptability, fast growth, and superior wood
properties, eucalypt tree plantations have emerged as key renewable feedstocks (over 20 …

Forests are crucial sustainable sources of natural ecosystems and contribute to human
welfare. Cunninghamia lanceolata (Chinese fir) is an economically important conifer and …
