  2. 1. Characterization of adventitious root formation in Populus species and Norway spruce

    Author : Sanaria Alallaq; Catherine Bellini; Carmen Diaz-Sala; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Adventitious root; Conifers; Picea abies; auxin; cytokinins; jasmonate; red light; Populus spp.; hybrid poplar; hybrid aspen; cambium; stem cuttings; P. tremula; Swedish Aspen SwAsp collection;

    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.

  4. 2. The significance of ethylene and ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTORS in wood formation of hybrid aspen

    Author : Bernard Wessels; Hannele Tuominen; Judith Felten; Totte Niittylä; Kurt Fagerstedt; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ethylene; wood formation; hybrid aspen; Populus; ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR; ERF85; ERF139; cambium; lignin; xylem expansion; secondary cell wall; tension wood; cambial derivative cell fate; vessel element; time-lapse photography; molekylär bioteknik inst f nat vet biokemi ; molecular biotechnology dept of biochem ; genetik; Genetics; Physiological Botany; fysiologisk botanik;

    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

  5. 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

    Author : Ingela Bjurhager; Lars Berglund; Ulrike Wegst; KTH; []
    Keywords : tensile strength; transgenic hybrid aspen; lignin down-regulation; the Vasa ship; chemical degradation; longitudinell draghållfasthet; transgen hybridasp; ligninnedreglering; Vasaskeppet; kemisk nedbrytning; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    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

  6. 4. Heterologous expression and characterization of xyloglucan endotransglycosylases from Populus tremula x tremuloides

    Author : Åsa Kallas; KTH; []
    Keywords : xyloglucan endotransglycosylase; transglycosylation; hybrid aspen; cell expansion; heterologous expression; Pichia pastoris; N-glycosylation; X-ray crystallography;

    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

  7. 5. Molecular analysis of growth cessation and dormancy in hybrid aspen

    Author : Szymon Tylewicz; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    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
