Trees from temperate latitudes transition between growth and dormancy to survive dehydration and freezing stress during winter months. We employed activation tagging to isolate a dominant mutation affecting release from dormancy, and identified the corresponding gene EARLY BUD-BREAK 1 (EBB1). We demonstrate through positioning of the tag, expression analysis, and...

The field performance of genetic containment technologies–considered important for
certain uses of transgenic trees in forestry–are poorly known. We tested the efficiency of a
barnase gene driven by the TA29 tapetum-dominant promoter for influencing growth rate and
inducing male-sterility in a field trial of transgenic hybrid poplar (Populus tremula x...

The stability and value of transgenic pest resistance for promoting tree growth are poorly understood. These data are
essential for determining if such trees could be beneficial to commercial growers in the face of substantial regulatory and
marketing costs. We investigated growth and insect resistance in hybrid poplar expressing the...

Eucalyptus trees are among the most important species for industrial forestry worldwide. However, as with most forest trees, flowering does not begin for one to several years after planting which can limit the rate of conventional and molecular breeding. To speed flowering, we transformed a Eucalyptus grandis × urophylla hybrid...
