Modeling of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin-carbohydrate complex formation and regulation to understand plant cell wall structure

Technical Report Chiang, Vincent

The goal of this project is to increase the fundamental understanding of the plant secondary cell wall in wood formation, using Populus trichocarpa as the model species. The project is built on a systematic transgenic strategy to perturb the expression of targeted cell-wall component genes and transcription factors (TFs). We used a systems biology approach that integrates this genome-wide transgenesis with full genome information to advance our understanding of wood formation and how to engineer woody plants to create robust feedstocks that maximize beneficial traits for biofuel and material production. This work has resulted in 14 peer reviewed publications inmore »« less

Genomics Mechanisms of Carbon Allocation and Partitioning in Poplar

Technical Report Kirst, Matias; Peter, Gary; Martin, Timothy

The genetic control of carbon allocation and partitioning in woody perennial plants is poorly understood despite its importance for carbon sequestration. It is also unclear how environmental cues such as nitrogen availability impact the genes that regulate growth, and biomass allocation and wood composition in trees. To address these questions we phenotyped 396 clonally replicated genotypes of an interspecific pseudo-backcross pedigree of Populus for wood composition and biomass traits in above and below ground organs. The loci that regulate growth, carbon allocation and partitioning under two nitrogen conditions were identified, defining the contribution of environmental cues to their genetic control.more »« less

Proposal to support the 4th international conference on nitrification and related processes (ICoN4)

Technical Report Klotz, Martin

The 4th International Conference on Nitrification and Related Processes (ICoN4) commencing between June 27 and July 1, 2015, at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada brings together an international collection of academic, government, and private sector researchers of the global biogeochemical nitrogen cycle to share their scientific discoveries, innovations and pertinent societal impacts. The classical understanding of “nitrification” describes the two-step transformation of ammonium to nitrite and nitrite to nitrate; however, we now know from the analysis genome sequences, the application of ‘omics technologies, microbial ecology, biogeochemistry, and microbial physiology that the transformation of ammonium is not performedmore »« less

GENETIC MODIFICATION OF GIBBERELLIC ACID SIGNALING TO PROMOTE CARBON SEQUESTRATION IN TREE ROOTS AND STEMS

Technical Report Busov, Victor

Semidwarfism has been used extensively in row crops and horticulture to promote yield, reduce lodging, and improve harvest index, and it might have similar benefits for trees for short-rotation forestry or energy plantations, reclamation, phytoremediation, or other applications. We studied the effects of the dominant semidwarfism transgenes GA Insensitive (GAI) and Repressor of GAI-Like, which affect gibberellin (GA) action, and the GA catabolic gene, GA 2-oxidase, in nursery beds and in 2-year-old high-density stands of hybrid poplar (Populus tremula - Populus alba). Twenty-nine traits were analyzed, including measures of growth, morphology, and physiology. Endogenous GA levels were modified in mostmore »« less

15. international conference on plant growth substances: Program -- Abstracts

Conference

Since the 14th Conference in Amsterdam in 1991, progress in plant hormone research and developmental plant biology has been truly astonishing. The five ``classical`` plant hormones, auxin, gibberellin, cytokinin, ethylene, and abscisic acid, have been joined by a number of new signal molecules, e.g., systemin, jasmonic acid, salicylic acid, whose biosynthesis and functions are being understood in ever greater detail. Molecular genetics has opened new vistas in an understanding of transduction pathways that regulate developmental processes in response to hormonal and environmental signals. The program of the 15th Conference includes accounts of this progress and brings together scientists whose workmore »« less
