Populus spp. are among the most economically important species worldwide. These trees
are used not only for wood and fiber production, but also in the rehabilitation of degraded …

De novo organ regeneration is the process in which adventitious roots or shoots regenerate
from detached or wounded organs. De novo organ regeneration can occur either in natural …

The conversion of lignocellulosic feedstocks to fermentable sugar for biofuel production is
inefficient, and most strategies to enhance efficiency directly target lignin biosynthesis, with …

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 …

The WUSCHEL‐related homeobox (WOX) transcription factors WOX11 and WOX12 regulate
adventitious rooting and responses to stress. The underlying physiological and molecular …

Poplar (Populus spp.) is a high-value crop for wood and biomass production and a model
organism for tree physiology and genomics. The early release, in 2006, of the complete …

Although polyploid plants have larger leaves than their diploid counterparts, the molecular
mechanisms underlying this difference (or trait) remain elusive. Differentially expressed …

A highly efficient Agrobacterium-mediated transformation method is needed for the
molecular study of model tree species such as hybrid poplar 84K (Populus alba× P …

In plants, a large root system improves the uptake of water and nutrients, and is important for
responding to drought stress. The poplar WUSCHEL-related homeobox (WOX) transcription …

Adventitious root (AR) development is an extremely complex biological process that is
affected by many intrinsic factors and extrinsic stimuli. Some WUSCHEL-related homeobox …
