The paper presents a comparative regulomics resource analyzing wood transcriptomes across six tree species to uncover evolutionary changes in regulatory programs for wood formation.

This study shows that altering xylan during secondary wall formation in Populus increases growth, with changes in gene expression, hormones, and metabolism.

This study modifies xylan in secondary walls of hybrid aspen to reduce recalcitrance, resulting in altered growth patterns and improved enzymatic saccharification.

The paper uses GWAS to identify genetic loci controlling tracheid properties in Norway spruce, finding 31 loci and 26 novel candidate genes.

This study shows XTH4 and XTH9 regulate xylem cell expansion and secondary wall formation in Arabidopsis through cell wall integrity signaling.

This study evaluates genetic control of microfibril angle transition from juvenile to mature wood in Norway spruce and lodgepole pine using heritability estimates and regression functions.
