Abstract:
The present invention relates to genetically modified plants comprising a heterologous nucleic acid construct comprising a promoter sequence operably linked to a coding sequence encoding a gene product. The invention further relates to methods for producing such plants.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a genetically modified plant or woody plant with improved growth properties (in terms of biomass and wood quality) as compared to a corresponding non-genetically modified wild type plant or woody plant, said method comprising altering the level of expression of a polypeptide in a plant cell or woody plant cell; a plant or woody plant; or a part thereof.
Abstract:
An 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 is disclosed. Methods are disclosed for producing a transgenic plant having an increased growth compared to its wild type by 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. Plant cells or plant progeny and wood having modulated gene expression are also disclosed. A DNA construct with a nucleotide sequence for a gene producing a transgenic plant having an increased growth compared to its wild type and a plant cell or plant progeny having the DNA construct are also disclosed.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods and systems for obtaining a plantlet from a plurality of somatic plant embryos, and to the use of a compressible and resilient solid substrate comprising a plurality of hydrophilic and biodegradable polymer fibres, as a germination substrate in a method for germination of a somatic plant embryo.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a genetically modified woody plant with improved growth properties (in terms of biomass and/or wood density) as compared to a corresponding non-genetically modified wild type plant or woody plant, said method comprising altering the level of expression of a polypeptide in a woody plant cell; a woody plant; or a part thereof.
