Wood genomics
Transcript profiling identifies groups of genes associated with different developmental stages during the formation of wood in trees.
The wood-forming tissues of trees offer an attractive experimental system in which to correlate tissue-specific expression with stages in a defined developmental gradient. In the December 4
They collected tangential sections across the wood development region in
Genes expressed in the cambial meristem and early expansion zones encode regulators of cell cycling, cell expansion, tip growth, and primary cell wall biosynthesis. The regions involved in late expansion and secondary cell-wall biosynthesis...
