Gene transformation enhances understanding of xylem cell development in poplar, indicating a model for vessel differentiation.
Summary statement The development of poplar trichomes is analogous to that of vessels, thus can serve as a model to study vessel differentiation. The established efficient gene transformation protocol for poplar trichomes facilitates the rapid functional characterization of genes involved in this process.
