21. Impacts of climate change on forest management and implications for Swedish forestry : an analysis based on growth and yield models
Abstract : While climate change is expected to increase the growth rates of most tree species in Sweden in the future, during this period, there are also increased risks of tree damage due to various risk factors associated with climate change. Therefore, it is necessary to develop adaptive management measures in order to exploit the benefits of climate change and minimize the damage resulting from these risk factors. READ MORE

22. Cell wall chemotyping for functional genomics : applications of pyrolysis-gas chromatography / mass spectrometry
Abstract : The interest in lignocellulose as a sustainable resource for energy and materials has fueled research on biotechnology applications in tree breeding to improve biomass production and wood properties. An important aspect of this research is the basic understanding of gene function in wood formation, where analysis of wood chemistry and wood structure is of utmost importance. READ MORE

23. Function of MAP20 and MYB103 in cellulose and lignin formation of xylem secondary cell walls
Abstract : Lignocellulose from trees and other crops will have tremendous impact on the next generation of sustainable biofuels and biomaterials. To take advantage of modern breeding tools, it is therefore important to understand the genetic and molecular regulation underlying secondary cell wall formation. READ MORE

24. Modification of forest trees by genetic engineering : from design to the field
Abstract : Developing viable genetic engineering methods for cell wall modification in trees is important to improve in a timely manner the properties of lignocellulose for biorefinery applications. New wood cell wall functionalities can be introduced by altered expression of native enzymes or by expressing microbial enzymes in planta. READ MORE

25. Molecular Regulation of the Annual Growth Cycle in Populus Trees
Abstract : Adaptation to the change of seasons is essential for tree survival. Here I show that the phenology of hybrid aspen is regulated by three FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) genes.FT1, FT2a and FT2b are the result of both a whole genome and a local duplication. READ MORE
