TL;DR: The draft assembly of the 20-gigabase genome of Norway spruce (Picea abies), the first available for any gymnosperm, is presented, revealing numerous long (>10,000 base pairs) introns, gene-like fragments, uncharacterized long non-coding RNAs and short RNAs, which opens up new genomic avenues for conifer forestry and breeding.
Journal ArticleDOI
AspWood: High-Spatial-Resolution Transcriptome Profiles Reveal Uncharacterized Modularity of Wood Formation in Populus tremula

TL;DR: High spatial resolution of the AspWood large-scale data set enabled identification of novel roles for characterized genes involved in xylan and cellulose biosynthesis, regulators of xylem vessel and fiber differentiation and lignification and regulation of the transcriptome underlying cambial growth and wood formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Dynamics of Cambial Stem Cell Activity
Urs Fischer,Melis Kucukoglu,Yrjö Helariutta,Yrjö Helariutta,Rishikesh P. Bhalerao,Rishikesh P. Bhalerao +5 more
TL;DR: This review highlights the current knowledge and recent discoveries of how cambial stem cell activity is regulated, with a focus on mobile signals and the response of c Cambial activity to environmental and stress factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX4 (WOX4)-like genes regulate cambial cell division activity and secondary growth in Populus trees
TL;DR: In Populus trees, PttWOX4 genes control cell division activity in the vascular cambium, and hence growth in stem girth, and expression profiling suggests that the CLE41 signaling pathway is an evolutionarily conserved program for the regulation of vascular c Cambium activity between angiosperm and gymnosperm tree species.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Arabidopsis LRR-RLK, PXC1 , is a regulator of secondary wall formation correlated with the TDIF-PXY/TDR-WOX4 signaling pathway
Jiehua Wang,Melis Kucukoglu,Linbin Zhang,Peng Chen,Daniel Decker,Ove Nilsson,Brian Jones,Göran Sandberg,Bo Zheng +8 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that the LRR-RLK, PXC1 is involved in secondary cell wall formation in xylem fibers, and similarly to the shoot apical meristem (SAM), secondary vascular development requires contributions from a number of LRRs.
