Identification and Functional Characterization of Genes that Regulate Biomass Production, Floral Development, and Leaf Senescence in Populus Species using Genetic Engineering and Bioinformatics Tools

Creator:

Lu, Haiwei

Abstract:

This dissertation is comprised of four studies on different elements of Populus biotechnology and genomic science: 1) growth improvement by recombinant DNA (rDNA) modification of gibberellin (GA) metabolism; 2) gene editing using zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs); 3) induction of floral sterility by RNA interference (RNAi) of AGAMOUS (AG) gene homologs; and...
