1. Characterization of adventitious root formation in Populus species and Norway spruce
Abstract : Adventitious root (AR) formation is a form of post-embryonic development and is a key adaptive trait in plants. De novo adventitious root regeneration represents an elegant evolutionary innovation that allows many plant species to multiply through vegetative propagation; it is widely used in forestry and horticulture to multiply elite genotypes.

2. The significance of ethylene and ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTORS in wood formation of hybrid aspen
Abstract : The woody tissues serve to stabilise plants, store nutrients and translocate water and minerals. The formation of wood, or ’secondary xylem’, follows a well-defined developmental gradient which is initiated by cell division activity in the vascular cambium. READ MORE

3. Effects of Cell Wall Structure on Tensile Properties of Hardwood : Effect of down-regulation of lignin on mechanical performance of transgenic hybrid aspen. Effect of chemical degradation on mechanical performance of archaeological oak from the Vasa ship
Abstract : Wood is a complex material and the mechanical properties are influencedby a number of structural parameters. The objective of this study has been toinvestigate the relationship between the structure and the mechanical propertiesof hardwood. Two levels were of special interest, viz. READ MORE

4. Heterologous expression and characterization of xyloglucan endotransglycosylases from Populus tremula x tremuloides
Abstract : Xyloglucan endotransglycosylases (XETs) are enzymes involvedin the reorganization of the primary cell wall. This thesisdescribes several aspects of XET16A from hybrid aspen (Populustremula x tremuloides). The gene was isolated from the hybridaspen cDNA library and the protein was expressed heterologouslyin the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris. READ MORE

5. Molecular analysis of growth cessation and dormancy in hybrid aspen
Abstract : Perennial plants such as trees living in temperate zones experience extreme changes in temperature during summers and winters. In order to survive, shoot apical and cambial meristem undergo a transition from active growth to dormant state, well in advance of winter onset. READ MORE
