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:Roots and needles were harvested from 6 juvenile Pinus radiata seedlings (3 biological pool constituted by 2 seedlings each). Needles and floral buds were harvested from 6 adult Pinus radiata plants (3 biological pools constituted by 2 plants each).
