In addition to its role in water and nutrient uptake, the root system is fundamentally important
because it anchors a plant to its substrate. Although a wide variety of root systems exist …

Epigenetic mechanisms are highly dynamic events that modulate gene expression. As more
accurate and powerful tools for epigenetic analysis become available for application in a …

Vegetative propagation of economically important woody, horticultural and agricultural
species rely on an efficient adventitious root (AR) formation. The formation of ARs is a …

In vitro plant cell and tissue culture techniques are the basis of many micropropagation and
breeding programs for scientific research. Plant tissue culture (PTC) involves organogenesis …

North American hardwood tree species, such as alder (Alnus spp.), ash (Fraxinus spp.),
basswood (Tilia spp.), beech (Fagus spp.), birch (Betula spp.), black cherry (Prunus …

Genes constitute only a small portion of the total genome and precisely controlling their
expression represents a substantial problem for their regulation. Furthermore, non-coding …

Recalcitrant adventitious root (AR) development is a major hurdle in propagating
commercially important woody plants. Although significant progress has been made to …

Trees necessarily experience changes in temperature, requiring efficient short-term
strategies that become crucial in environmental change adaptability. DNA methylation and …

The genus Castanea includes several tree species that are relevant because of their
geographical extension and their multipurpose character, that includes nut and timber …

Forest trees are complex perennial organisms that are adapted to the local environment in
the results of prevailing climate conditions in population history. Because they lead a …
