Project description:To better understand the molecular bases of resin production, a major source of terpenes for industry, the transcriptome of adult Pinus elliottii var. elliottii (slash pine) trees under field commercial resinosis was obtained.
Project description:The transcriptome of needles from plants propagated by cuttings and cultured in the same conditions at SERIDA’s greenhouse at Villaviciosa (Asturias, Spain) were analyzed. The cuttings are from two different provenances of Pinus pinaster; Leiria (Portugal) and Tamrabta (Morocco). Their transcriptomes were analyzed using high throughput sequencing

Project description:We sequenced mRNA from the insect-resistant and poor insect resistance Pinus massoniana to discover metabolic pathways and genes that are involved in defense against pests. Examination of mRNA levels in strain insect-resistant and poor insect resistance Pinus massoniana
Project description:Wood in conifers is mainly composed of tracheids. Some taxa, such as Pinus, present tracheids also in the rays, but are axial tracheids which constitute the vast majority of secondary xylem. Nevertheless, radial and axial parenchyma surrounding constitutive and traumatic resin ducts is known to serve as crucial reserve storage. These reserves are mobilized in response to traumatism, insect and pathogen attacks and defoliation, allowing the synthesis of resin, healing and, in few taxa, even resprouting. However, due to the low proportion of parenchymatic cells in secondary xylem relevant genes involved in their differentiation may have been missed in studies of transcriptomics of conifer wood formation. In this study we have used Pinus canariensis as a model species, given its comparatively high proportion of axial parenchyma. We have prepared two normalized libraries from its cambial zone, covering early- and late-wood differentiation. We have de novo assembled a transcriptome, and have analyzed the transcriptional profiles during the growing season, getting a more complete picture of wood formation in conifers.
