Abstract

Alteration in the leaf mesophyll anatomy by genetic modification is potentially a promising tool for improving the physiological functions of trees by improving leaf photosynthesis. Homeodomain leucine zipper (HD-Zip) transcription factors are candidates for anatomical alterations of leaves through ...

Abstract

The monitoring of wood properties is important to the management of the productive cycle in industries of wood transformation. This monitoring is carried out to estimate the volume of wood to be used in pulp and paper processes or to certify the lumber properties produced by the forest. Therefore,...

Abstract

With the increase in human demands for energy, purpose-grown woody crops could be part of the global renewable energy solution, especially in geographical regions where plantation forestry is feasible and economically important. In addition, efficient utilization of woody feedstocks would engage in ...

Abstract

The deposition of litter is a major nutrient cycling indicator in forest plantations. The objective of this study was to evaluate dynamics of leaf litter deposition, flow of nutrients from canopy to soil via litter and decomposition of this material in a genetically modified eucalyptus plantation....

Abstract

An efficient regeneration protocol is the prerequisite of genetic modification of eucalyptus. However, adventitious bud differentiation from calli of eucalyptus is difficult because of rapid callus browning. By comparing three cytokinins in tissue culture of Eucalyptus urophylla, it was found that ...

Abstract

The increasing focus on plantation forestry as a renewable source of cellulosic biomass has emphasized the need for tools to study the unique biology of woody genera such as Eucalyptus, Populus and Pinus. The domestication of these woody crops is hampered by long generation times, and breeders are...

Abstract

There are several approaches being investigated to improve the efficiency of biomass conversion into fermentable sugars, including those that engineer the feedstocks to enhance digestibility. In this study it was evaluated the impact of genotype modifications of three mutants of Eucalyptus globulus ...

Abstract

An efficient in vitro regeneration protocol enables mass multiplication, genetic modification and germplasm conservation of desired plants. In vitro plant regeneration was achieved from nodal segments of 18-months-old superior genotypes of Eucalyptus camaldulensis trees through direct organogenesis ...

Abstract

Hardwood forests and plantations are an important economic resource for the forest products industry worldwide and to the international trade of lumber and logs. Hardwood trees are also planted for ecological reasons, for example, wildlife habitat, native woodland restoration, and riparian buffers. ...
