Trees offer significant potential in this role. Poplar, willow and eucalyptus are suggested here as three target tree crops however, a significant yield gap (the difference between potential and observed yield) exists that may be as much as 10 tonnes ha−1y−1. New technologies offer great potential to accelerate the breeding pipeline and provide the bioeconomy with fast growing, stress tolerant and low-input bioenergy trees with higher potential yields and smaller yield gaps. These technologies include both genomic selection (GS) and genome editing, where significant progress for trees has been made in recent years. The most challenging remaining bottleneck is the accurate phenotyping of large populations of trees for traits that underpin yield; more research is required on target traits for the sustainable intensification of the production of bioenergy tree crops."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/978-3-319-44530-4_15"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/56786"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.isbn","978-3-319-44529-8"],["dc.relation.isbn","978-3-319-44530-4"],["dc.relation.ispartof","Perennial Biomass Crops for a Resource-Constrained World"],["dc.title","Bioenergy Trees: Genetic and Genomic Strategies to Improve Yield"],["dc.type","book_chapter"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

To combat yield loss, it is important to better understand the molecular mechanisms that control growth under drought. Here, the goal was to resolve the drought-induced changes of active cytokinins, a main growth hormone in plants, at the tissue level in different cell types and organs of poplars (Populus×canescens) in comparison with growth, biomass, leaf shedding, photosynthesis and water potential. Since cytokinin response is mediated by type-A response regulators,ARR5::GUSreporter lines were used to map cytokinin activity histochemically. The expression ofPtaRR3andPtaRR10was examined in different stem sections. Young leaves showed strong cytokinin activity in the veins and low staining under drought stress, accompanied by diminished leaf expansion. Leaf scars, at positions where drought-shedding occurred, showed strong reduction of cytokinin activity. The pith in the differentiation zone of stem showed high cytokinin activity with distinct, very active parenchymatic cells and enhanced activity close to primary xylem. This pattern was maintained under drought but the cytokinin activity was reduced. Mature phloem parenchymatic cells showed high cytokinin activity and mature wood showed no detectable cytokinin activity. Cytokinin activity in the cambium was apparent as a clear ring, which faded under drought. Xylem-localized cytokinin activities were also mirrored by the relative expression ofPtaRR3, whereasPtaRR10showed developmental but no drought-induced changes. Primary meristems exhibited high cytokinin activity regardless of drought stress, supporting a function of this phytohormone in meristem maintenance, whereas declining cytokinin activities in apical pith tissues and cambium of drought-stressed poplars linked cytokinin in these cell types with the control of primary and secondary growth processes. Changes in cytokinin activity further imply a role in drought avoidance mechanisms of poplars, especially in the reduction of leaf area."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2017"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1093/aobpla/plx067"],["dc.identifier.pmid","29354257"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/15020"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/12421"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.doi","10.1093/aobpla/plx067"],["dc.rights.access","openAccess"],["dc.subject.ddc","570"],["dc.title","Drought effects on the tissue- and cell-specific cytokinin activity in poplar"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

But knowledge on the cellular localization of this growth hormone in the stem and other organs of woody plants is lacking. The main focus of this study was to investigate the occurrence and cellular localization of active cytokinins in leaves, roots, and along the stem of Populus × canescens and to find out how the pattern is changed between summer and winter. An ARR5::GUS reporter construct was used to monitor distribution of active cytokinins in different tissues of transgenic poplar lines. Three transgenic lines tested under outdoor conditions showed no influence of ARR5::GUS reporter construct on the growth performance compared with the wild-type, but one line lost the reporter activity. ARR5::GUS activity indicated changes in the tissue- and cell type-specific pattern of cytokinin activity during dormancy compared with the growth phase. ARR5::GUS activity, which was present in the root tips in the growing season, disappeared in winter. In the stem apex ground tissue, ARR5::GUS activity was higher in winter than in summer. Immature leaves from tissue-culture grown plants showed inducible ARR5::GUS activity. Leaf primordia in summer showed ARR5::GUS activity, but not the expanded leaves of outdoor plants or leaf primordia in winter. In stem cross sections, the most prominent ARR5::GUS activity was detected in the cortex region and in the rays of bark in summer and in winter. In the cambial zone the ARR5::GUS activity was more pronounced in the dormant than in growth phase. The pith and the ray cells adjacent to the vessels also displayed ARR5::GUS activity. In silico analyses of the tissue-specific expression patterns of the whole PtRR type-A family of poplar showed that PtRR10, the closest ortholog to the Arabidopsis ARR5 gene, was usually the most highly expressed gene in all tissues. In conclusion, gene expression and tissue-localization indicate high activity of cytokinins not only in summer, but also in winter. The presence of the signal in meristematic tissues supports their role in meristem maintenance. The reporter lines will be useful to study the involvement of cytokinins in acclimation of poplar growth to stress."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2016"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3389/fpls.2016.00652"],["dc.identifier.fs","620096"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/13292"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/10618"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DeepGreen Import"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.publisher","Frontiers Media S.A."],["dc.relation.eissn","1664-462X"],["dc.rights","http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"],["dc.rights.access","openAccess"],["dc.title","Tissue- and Cell-Specific Cytokinin Activity in Populus × canescens Monitored by ARR5::GUS Reporter Lines in Summer and Winter"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","unknown"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Knowledge on how the saccharification potential is affected by genotype-related variation of wood traits and drought is scarce. Here, we used three Populus nigra L. genotypes from habitats differing in water availability to (i) investigate the relationships between wood anatomy, lignin content and saccharification and (ii) identify genes and co-expressed gene clusters related to genotype and drought-induced variation in wood traits and saccharification potential. The three poplar genotypes differed in wood anatomy, lignin content and saccharification potential. Drought resulted in reduced cambial activity, decreased vessel and fiber lumina, and increased the saccharification potential. The saccharification potential was unrelated to lignin content as well as to most wood anatomical traits. RNA sequencing of the developing xylem revealed that 1.5% of the analyzed genes were differentially expressed in response to drought, while 67% differed among the genotypes. Weighted gene correlation network analysis identified modules of co-expressed genes correlated with saccharification potential. These modules were enriched in gene ontology terms related to cell wall polysaccharide biosynthesis and modification and vesicle transport, but not to lignin biosynthesis. Among the most strongly saccharification-correlated genes, those with regulatory functions, especially kinases, were prominent. We further identified transcription factors whose transcript abundances differed among genotypes, and which were co-regulated with genes for biosynthesis and modifications of hemicelluloses and pectin. Overall, our study suggests that the regulation of pectin and hemicellulose metabolism is a promising target for improving wood quality of second generation bioenergy crops.

The mechanism of action of oxazolidinones in vitro was examined in a purified translation system from E. coli using natural mRNA.

Populus is considered as a promising 2G feedstock and understanding the genetic basis of biomass yield and feedstock quality are a research priority in this model tree species. Results We report the first coppiced biomass study for 714 members of a wide population of European black poplar (Populus nigra L.), a native European tree, selected from 20 river populations ranging in latitude and longitude between 40.5 and 52.1°N and 1.0 and 16.4°E, respectively. When grown at a single site in southern UK, significant Site of Origin (SO) effects were seen for 14 of the 15 directly measured or derived traits including biomass yield, leaf area and stomatal index. There was significant correlation (p < 0.001) between biomass yield traits over 3 years of harvest which identified leaf size and cell production as strong predictors of biomass yield. A 12 K Illumina genotyping array (constructed from 10,331 SNPs in 14 QTL regions and 4648 genes) highlighted significant population genetic structure with pairwise FST showing strong differentiation (p < 0.001) between the Spanish and Italian subpopulations. Robust associations reaching genome-wide significance are reported for main stem height and cell number per leaf; two traits tightly linked to biomass yield. These genotyping and phenotypic data were also used to show the presence of significant isolation by distance (IBD) and isolation by adaption (IBA) within this population. Conclusions The three associations identified reaching genome-wide significance at p < 0.05 include a transcription factor; a putative stress response gene and a gene of unknown function. None of them have been previously linked to bioenergy yield; were shown to be differentially expressed in a panel of three selected genotypes from the collection and represent exciting, novel candidates for further study in a bioenergy tree native to Europe and Euro-Asia. A further 26 markers (22 genes) were found to reach putative significance and are also of interest for biomass yield, leaf area, epidermal cell expansion and stomatal patterning.

While local adaptation has been widely studied in trees, little is known about plasticity of gene expression in adult trees in response to ever changing environmental conditions in natural habitats. Here we investigate plasticity of gene expression in needle tissue between two Douglas-fir provenances represented by 25 adult trees using deep RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). Results: Using linear mixed models we investigated the effect of temperature, soil water availability and photoperiod on the abundance of 59189 detected transcripts. Expression of more than 80 % of all identified transcripts revealed a response to variations in environmental conditions in the field. GO term overrepresentation analysis revealed gene expression responses to temperature, soil water availability and photoperiod that are highly conserved among many plant taxa. However, expression differences between the two Douglas-fir provenances were rather small compared to the expression differences observed between individual trees. Although the effect of environment on global transcript expression was high, the observed genotype by environment (GxE) interaction of gene expression was surprisingly low, since only 21 of all detected transcripts showed a GxE interaction. Conclusions: The majority of the transcriptome responses in plant leaf tissue is driven by variations in environmental conditions. The small variation between individuals and populations suggests strong conservation of this response within Douglas-fir. Therefore we conclude that plastic transcriptome responses to variations in environmental conditions are only weakly affected by local adaptation in Douglas-fir."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1186/s12864-016-3022-6"],["dc.identifier.isi","000384980300004"],["dc.identifier.pmid","27565139"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/13892"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/39774"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Biomed Central Ltd"],["dc.relation.issn","1471-2164"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.title","Transcriptome responses to temperature, water availability and photoperiod are conserved among mature trees of two divergent Douglas-fir provenances from a coastal and an interior habitat"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The poplars were cultivated either in the presence or absence of Paxillus involutus and either with or without salt stress imposed by 150 mM NaCl. Leaves of ectomycorrhizal plants displayed higher quantum yield of photochemistry (ΦPSII), increased concentrations of phosphorus and potassium, decreased concentrations of galactose, increased concentrations of the stress metabolite γ-amino butyric acid and a lower unsaturated-to-saturated fatty acid ratios than those of non-ectomycorrhizal plants. Salt exposure of P. × canescens led to leaf chlorosis and shedding, decreases in ΦPSII, K+-to-Na+ ratio, 9Z-hexadecenoic acid, 9Z-octadecenoic acid and unsaturated-to-saturated fatty acid ratio, and increases in ABA, glucose, fructose and some amino compounds. Under salinity leaves of ectomycorrhizal plants showed an alleviation of leaf chlorosis, improved water status, higher ΦPSII and K+-to-Na+ ratio, less accumulation of major amino compounds and lower unsaturated-to-saturated fatty acid ratios than those of non-mycorrhizal plants. These results indicate that ectomycorrhizas attenuate salinity induced injury in leaves of P. × canescens, which may be ascribed to the improved nutrient status, osmo-regulation and changes in fatty acid composition in leaves of ectomycorrhizal plants."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.envexpbot.2011.04.008"],["dc.identifier.gro","3147312"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/4918"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["dc.relation.issn","0098-8472"],["dc.title","The ectomycorrhizal fungus (Paxillus involutus) modulates leaf physiology of poplar towards improved salt tolerance"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
