The plant hormones auxin and abscisic acid may at first sight appear to be a conflicting pair
of plant regulators. Abscisic acid content increases during stress and protects plant water …

We identified a dwarf transgenic hybrid poplar (Populus tremula× Populus alba) after
screening of 627 independent activation-tagged transgenic lines in tissue culture …

Fast increase in world population, scarcer water resources and climate change are putting

A highly efficient Agrobacterium-mediated transformation method is needed for the
molecular study of model tree species such as hybrid poplar 84K (Populus alba× P …

Poplar (Populus spp.) is a high-value crop for wood and biomass production and a model
organism for tree physiology and genomics. The early release, in 2006, of the complete …

The lignin distribution in cell walls of spruce and beech wood was determined by high-
voltage transmission-electron-microscopy (TEM) in sections stained with potassium …

The evaluation of the amount of lignocellulosic polymeric components of woody biomass is
fundamental to assess its adequacy to produce energy or chemicals. Classic techniques for …
