MAPK signal transduction modules play crucial roles in regulating many biological processes
in plants, and their components are encoded by highly conserved genes. The recent …

We report the draft genome of the black cottonwood tree, Populus trichocarpa. Integration of
shotgun sequence assembly with genetic mapping enabled chromosome-scale …

Different stages of vascular and interfascicular fiber differentiation can be identified along
the axis of bolting stems in Arabidopsis. To gain insights into the metabolic, developmental, …

The enzyme 4‐coumarate:CoA ligase (4CL) plays a key role in channelling carbon flow into
diverse branch pathways of phenylpropanoid metabolism which serve important functions in …

… Urban et al. 1997) and a coordinated expression of Arabidopsis C4H with all other genes
of the phenylpropanoid pathway is evident during development of inflorescence stems (Ehlting …

… Singleton rice sequences corresponding to the J and L clades from Arabidopsis are
indicated. Gene structure: The gene structures are represented by white boxes symbolizing …

In order to uncover the genetic basis of phenotypic trait variation, we used 448 unrelated
wild accessions of black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) from much of its range in western …

Establishing links between phenotypes and molecular variants is of central importance to
accelerate genetic improvement of economically important plant species. Our work represents …

The primary inflorescence stem of Arabidopsis thaliana is rich in lignified cell walls, in both
vascular bundles and interfascicular fibres. Previous gene expression studies demonstrated …

Cytochromes P450 monooxygenases from the CYP98 family catalyze the meta-hydroxylation
step in the phenylpropanoid biosynthetic pathway. The ref8 Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis …
