The Hans Merensky Chair in Measuring and Modelling Eucalypt Growth & Wood Formation
Understanding growth in the world's most widely planted hardwoods
Visit to Belgium
An update from Dave, who has spent the last week in Belgium, and it has been already a most satisfying visit… First I spent the day (last Monday) at the Africa museum in Tervuren with Prof Hans Beeckman and Melissa Rousseau. The xylarium is…
New Research Paper on “Systems Biology View” of Wood Formation in Eucalypts
A paper recently published by Ployet et al. (2019) in New Phytologist provides insights into regulatory mechanisms of wood formation under stressful conditions, particularly elucidating regulator co‐opting by K‐fertilization and/or water limitation that may potentially promote adaptive wood traits. Their integrated network‐based approach enabled…
