Arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs) are undoubtedly one of the most complex families of
macromolecules found in plants, perhaps matched only by the polyphenolics (lignins/cutins …

We report the genome-wide analysis of direct target genes of SND1 and VND7, two
Arabidopsis thaliana NAC domain transcription factors that are master regulators of …

Plant cells are surrounded by highly dynamic cell walls that play important roles regulating
aspects of plant development. Recent advances in visualization and measurement of cell …

The status of genomics and genetics research in the Myrtaceae, a large family of
dicotyledonous woody plants, is reviewed with Eucalyptus as the focal genus. The family …

Although the response of plants exposed to severe drought stress has been studied
extensively, little is known about how plants adapt their growth under mild drought stress …

To maximize utilization of our forest resources, detailed knowledge of wood property
variation and the impacts this has on end-product performance is required at multiple scales …

The cotton fibre serves as a valuable experimental system to study cell wall synthesis in
plants, but our understanding of the genetic regulation of this process during fibre …

Wood remains the world's most abundant and renewable resource for timber and pulp and
