Journal ArticleDOI
Facile means for quantifying microRNA expression by real-time PCR
Rui Shi,Vincent L. Chiang +1 more
TL;DR: A simple and sensitive real-time PCR method for quantifying the expression of plant miRNAs and revealed miRNA tissue-specific expression patterns that cannot be resolved by Northern blot analysis and may therefore be widely useful for characterizing miRNA expression in plants as well as in animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel and mechanical stress-responsive MicroRNAs in Populus trichocarpa that are absent from Arabidopsis.
TL;DR: It is shown that plant miRNAs can be induced by mechanical stress and may function in one of the most critical defense systems for structural and mechanical fitness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards a Systems Approach for Lignin Biosynthesis in Populus trichocarpa: Transcript Abundance and Specificity of the Monolignol Biosynthetic Genes
TL;DR: The identified 23 genes that most probably encode monolignol biosynthesis enzymes during wood formation are identified and evidence suggesting functional redundancy at the transcript level for phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and cinnamate 4-hydroxylase is found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving wood properties for wood utilization through multi-omics integration in lignin biosynthesis

Davis,Chris Smith,Fikret Isik,Ronald R. Sederoff,Vincent L. Chiang,Vincent L. Chiang +41 more
TL;DR: A multi-omics quantitative integrative analysis of lignin biosynthesis can advance the strategic engineering of wood for timber, pulp, and biofuels and may lead to greater understanding of other pathways for improved growth and adaptation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complete Proteomic-Based Enzyme Reaction and Inhibition Kinetics Reveal How Monolignol Biosynthetic Enzyme Families Affect Metabolic Flux and Lignin in Populus trichocarpa
Jack P. Wang,Jack P. Wang,Punith P. Naik,Hsi-Chuan Chen,Rui Shi,Chien-Yuan Lin,Jie Liu,Christopher M. Shuford,Quanzi Li,Quanzi Li,Quanzi Li,Ying-Hsuan Sun,Sermsawat Tunlaya-Anukit,Cranos M. Williams,David C. Muddiman,Joel J. Ducoste,Ronald R. Sederoff,Vincent L. Chiang,Vincent L. Chiang +18 more
TL;DR: A proteomic-based predictive kinetic metabolic-flux model was developed for monolignol biosynthesis in Populus trichocarpa and predicts how pathway enzymes affect lignin content and composition, explains a long-standing paradox regarding the regulation of monolIGNol subunit ratios in lignIn, and reveals novel mechanisms involved in theregulation of lign in biosynthesis.
