Nitrogen and environmental factors influence bark storage protein gene expression in poplar

Creator:

Banados, Maria Pilar

Abstract:

In poplar (Populus spp.) a 32-kilodalton bark storage protein (BSP) accumulates during the fall and winter, and is thought to be a major storage form of overwintering nitrogen. BSP is induced by short-day (SD) photoperiod, and under natural conditions BSP accumulation coincides with the induction of dormancy. Because BSP accumulates...
