author keywords: glycosyltransferase; Populus trichocarpa; wood formation; xylan
MeSH headings : Arabidopsis / genetics; Arabidopsis / metabolism; Cell Wall / metabolism; Down-Regulation; Elastic Modulus; Gene Expression Regulation, Plant; Genes, Plant; Genetic Variation; Glycosyltransferases / genetics; Glycosyltransferases / metabolism; Plant Stems / chemistry; Plants, Genetically Modified / genetics; Plants, Genetically Modified / metabolism; Populus / genetics; Populus / metabolism; Stress, Mechanical; Transcription Factors; Wood / analysis; Xylans / biosynthesis; Xylans / genetics
topics (OpenAlex): Plant Gene Expression Analysis; Biofuel production and bioconversion; Polysaccharides and Plant Cell Walls
TL;DR: Results suggest that PtrGT8Ds play key roles in xylan biosynthesis in wood, and may be a more important factor than lignin affecting the stiffness and fracture strength of wood. (via Semantic Scholar)

2010 journal article

EFFECT OF LIGNIN GENETIC MODIFICATION ON WOOD ANATOMY OF ASPEN TREES

IAWA JOURNAL, 31(1), 29–38.

By: B. Horvath n, I. Peszlen n , P. Peralta n, B. Kasal & L. Li *

author keywords: Quantitative wood anatomy; vessel and fiber morphology; quaking aspen; Populus tremuloides; transgenic trees; lignin content; syringyl to guaracyl ratio
topics (OpenAlex): Wood Treatment and Properties; Lignin and Wood Chemistry; Forest ecology and management
TL;DR: The directed modification of specific traits of trees through genetic engineering provides opportunities for making significant genetic improvements to wood properties in matter of years instead of extended time frames required for traditional natural selection. (via Semantic Scholar)
