The high economic value of wood requires intensive breeding towards multipurpose
biomass. However, long breeding cycles hamper the fast development of novel tree varieties …

Transgenic technology is increasingly used in forest-tree breeding to overcome the
disadvantages of traditional breeding methods, such as a long breeding cycle, complex …

The long juvenile period of perennial woody plants is a major constraint in breeding
programs. FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) protein is an important mobile florigen signal that …

Flowering is a pivotal developmental process in response to the environment and
determines the start of a new life cycle in plants. Woody plants usually possess a long …

Plant migration and gene flow from genetically modified or exotic trees to nearby lands or by
crossing with wild relatives is a major public and regulatory concern. Many genetic …

Flowering represents a crucial stage in the life cycles of plants. Ensuring strong and
consistent flowering is vital for maintaining crop production amidst the challenges presented …

RNA interference (RNAi) is a conserved molecular mechanism that plays a critical role in
post-transcriptional gene silencing across diverse organisms. This review delves into the …

Production of normal gametes is necessary for flowering plant reproduction, which involves
the transition from vegetative to reproductive stage and floral organ development. Such …

Background Flowering plays an important role in completing the reproductive cycle of plants
and obtaining next generation of plants. In case of citrus, it may take more than a year to …

Transformation is a major bottleneck for genetic engineering and gene editing in forest tree
species. This includes most genotypes of Populus and Eucalyptus, which are some of the …
