An improved and efficient method of Agrobacterium syringe infiltration for transient transformation and its application in the elucidation of gene function in poplar

Lin Zheng et al.

Summary: By selecting a suitable poplar clone from a variety of clones and optimizing the syringe infiltration procedure, the efficiency of syringe Agrobacterium infiltration in poplar was greatly improved. Using this technique, various poplar proteins were localized in specific intracellular organelles, and protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions were illustrated. Transformed leaves could be used to generate stably transformed plants with high efficiency through callus induction and differentiation processes. Additionally, transient overexpression of genes associated with secondary wall formation induced transdifferentiation of protoxylem-like vessel elements and ectopic secondary wall thickening in agroinfiltrated leaves.

Construction of a Full-Length cDNA Over-Expressing Library to Identify Valuable Genes from Populus tomentosa

Lingfei Kong et al.

Summary: Poplar wood is a major source of renewable biomass energy worldwide and a model system for studying woody plants. The FOX gene hunting system has been used to identify novel genes in herbaceous plants, but this study successfully applied it to woody plants, generating a useful library for discovering new genes in poplar.

PSDX: A Comprehensive Multi-Omics Association Database of Populus trichocarpa With a Focus on the Secondary Growth in Response to Stresses

Huiyuan Wang et al.

Summary: Researchers have developed a public database containing comprehensive measurements of gene expression and post-transcriptional regulation to study the response of secondary growth in Populus trichocarpa to different stresses. The database also includes data on alternative splicing, alternative polyadenylation, and alternative transcription initiation. The PSDX database provides tools for data query, visualization, a genome browser, and BLAST option, facilitating the study of genes related to secondary growth and stress response in Populus trichocarpa.

Transcriptomic and epigenomic remodeling occurs during vascular cambium periodicity in Populus tomentosa

Bo Chen et al.

Summary: The study comprehensively analyzed the cambium in Populus tomentosa, including morphological observations, transcriptome profiles, DNA methylome, and miRNA analysis. It was found that the active cambial zone displayed increased cell layers, and differentially expressed genes associated with vascular development were mainly involved in plant hormone signal transduction, cell division and expansion, and cell wall biosynthesis.

A Comparative Analysis of Transcription Networks Active in Juvenile and Mature Wood in Populus

Laifu Luo et al.

Summary: The study revealed significant differences in wood properties between juvenile wood (JW) and mature wood (MW), including higher cellulose and hemicellulose content, less lignin, and longer and larger fiber cells and vessel elements in MW. Differences in transcriptional programs and DNA methylation patterns were detected between JW and MW, mainly concentrated in gene networks involved in hormonal signaling pathways and cell expansion.

Dhavala Annapurna et al.

Summary: This study successfully developed novel microsatellite markers for Melia dubia and validated their effectiveness in differentiating genotypes based on wood traits. The markers were found to be useful for genetic mapping, diversity estimation, and marker-assisted selection for desired wood traits.
