Abstract excerpt
The genetic control underlying natural variation in lignin content and composition in trees is not fully understood. We performed a systems genetic analysis to uncover the genetic regulation of lignin biosynthesis in a natural 'SwAsp' population of aspen (Populus tremula) trees. We analyzed gene expression by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) in differentiating xylem tissues, and lignin content and composition using...
