    Abstract: The present invention pertains to a novel and extensive analytical platform for selecting genes with a possible commercial phenotype from a large group of candidate genes identified using tools in bioinformatics, data from EST sequencing and DNA array. An aspect of the invention provides methods of producing a transgenic plant having an increased growth compared to its wild type. The method comprises altering in the plant the level of a gene product of at least one gene specifically expressed during different phases of wood formation. This may be done with transgenic methods or by specific crossing methods. Further aspects of the invention provide a plant cell or plant progeny and wood having modulated gene expression according to the invention. Other aspects pertain a DNA construct comprising a nucleotide sequence of the invention and a plant cell or plant progeny comprising the DNA construct.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to genetically modified woody plants comprising a heterologous nucleic acid construct comprising a promoter sequence operably linked to a coding sequence encoding a gibberellin 20-oxidase gene product, wherein the promoter is preferentially or specifically expressed in meristematic tissue of said plant. The invention further relates to methods for producing such plants and to certain nucleic acid molecules useful as promoters.
