<i>Cryptomeria fortunei</i>, also known as the Chinese cedar, is an important timber species in southern China. The primary component of its woody tissues is lignin, mainly present in secondary cell walls. Therefore, continuous lignin synthesis is crucial for wood formation. In this study, we aimed to discover key genes involved in lignin synthesis expressed in the vascular cambium of <i>C. fortunei</i>. Through transcriptome sequencing, we detected expression of two genes, <i>4CL</i> and <i>CCo ...[more]
