RNA-seq analysis of lignocellulose-related genes in hybrid Eucalyptus with contrasting wood basic density

Abstract Background Wood basic density (WBD), the biomass of plant cell walls per unit volume, is an important trait for elite tree selection in kraft pulp production. Here, we investigated the correlation between WBD and wood volumes or wood properties using 98 open-pollinated, 2.4 to 2.8 year-old...
