Magnesium(Mg^(2+)),an essential structural component of chlorophyll,is absorbed from the soil by roots and transported to shoots to support photosynthesis in plants.However,the molecular mechanisms underlying root-to-...

During plant growth and development mineral elements are preferentially delivered to different organs and tissues to meet the differential demand. It has been shown that the preferential distribution of mineral nutrie...

Lignin is specifically deposited in plant secondary cell walls,and initiation of lignin biosynthesis is regulated by a variety of developmental and environmental signals.However,the mechanisms governing the regulation...
During vascular development, procambial and cambial cells give rise to xylem and phloem cells. Because the vascular tissue is deeply embedded, it has been difficult to analyze the processes of vascular development in ...

A key question in the secondary growth of trees is how differentiation of the vascular cambium cells is directed to concurrently form two different tissues: xylem or phloem, class III homeodomain-leucine zipper (HD-...
Genetic manipulation of cellulose biosynthesis in trees may provide novel insights into the growth and development of trees. To explore this possibility, the overexpression of an aspen secondary wall-associated cellul...
IRX14 and IRX14-LIKE (IRX14L) are two closely related glycosyl transferases in the glycosyl transferase 43 (GT43) family of Arabidopsis. A T-DNA insertion mutant for IRX14 results in comparatively minor changes, s...
In order to create trees in which cellulose, the most abundant component in biomass, can be enzymatically hydrolyzed highly for the production of bioethanol, we examined the saccharification of xylem from several tran...
