Transcriptome profiling of <it>Pinus radiata </it>juvenile wood with contrasting stiffness identifies putative candidate genes involved in microfibril orientation and cell wall mechanics
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The mechanical properties of wood are largely determined by the orientation of cellulose microfibrils in secondary cell walls. Several genes and their allelic variants have previously been found to affect microfibril angle (MFA) and...
