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...

Creator:: Wei, Hao
Abstract:: To reduce the environmental impacts caused by gene flow from transgenic trees, reproductive sterility genes have been developed that use a floral regulatory element linked to a cell toxin. This results in dysfunction or ablation of floral tissues, causing sterility. However, floral promoters often permit low levels of expression in...

Creator:: Elias, Ani Anna
Abstract:: We evaluated genes previously identified from a large scale functional genomics screen for their potential value to help enhance carbon sequestration in planted trees. We used poplar as a model tree species because of its abundant genetic variation, ease of gene transfer, and availability of large databases for genomic, anatomical,...

Creator:: Bao, Yanghuan
Abstract:: Vegetative propagation allows the amplification of selected genotypes for research, breeding, and commercial planting. However, efficient in vitro regeneration and genetic transformation remains a major obstacle to research and commercial application in many plant species. Our aims are to improve knowledge of gene regulatory circuits important to meristem organization, and...
