Graduation date: 2009We evaluated genes previously identified from a large scale functional genomics screen for their potential value to help enhance carbon sequestration in planted trees. We used poplar as a model tree species because of its abundant genetic variation, ease of gene transfer, and availability of large databases for genomic, anatomical, physiological, and silvicultural traits. Enhancement of carbon sequestration can be achieved by modifying many aspects of plant growth and development, including rate of growth, stress tolerance, and partitioning of assimilated carbon into compounds that are resistant to rapid decomposition, such as lignin. The selected genes were placed under a constitutive promoter and transferred to poplar...
