Project description:Wood maturation produces two distinct wood tissues: juvenile wood (JW) and mature wood (LW), which are the major cause of wood qaulity variation within a tree. We investigate transcriptome reorganization during wood maturation process in radiata pine using a newly developed 18k cDNA microarrays.
Project description:Seasonal wood development results in two distinct wood types: earlywood (EW) and latewood (LW), which is the major cause of wood qaulity variation. We investigate transcriptome reorganization during seasonal wood development in radiata pine using a newly developed 18k cDNA microarrays.
Project description:Wood blocks are a suggested form of rodent enrichment, however, if ingested, wood blocks could potentially confound early toxicology results. We used microarrays to determine if transcriptomically, rats treated with cyclophosphamide and administered wood blocks were different from those treated with cyclophosphamide and not allowed access to wood blocks
