National audienceNucleotidic polymorphism of Cinnamoyl CoA Reductase (CCR) gene and its relation with lignin content is studied within a breeding population of Eucalyptus urophylla S.T. Blake (“Timor Mountain Gum”). The nearly full sequence (94%) are obtained for 15 parental trees. This gene (3220 bp) is highly polymorphic showing 131 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), 17 insertion-deletions (INDEL), 1 polyA sequence and a microsatellite site. Exons fragments encompass 10 non-synonymous SNPs, half of them within exon 5 (194 bp). Fifteen different haplotypes are reconstructed based on the polymorphism of exon 4 and intron 4. CCR promoting sequence (694 bp) including all the known regulatory sequences is described for the two alleles of on...
