Now, scientists at North Carolina State University have used CRISPR to adjust the genomes of poplar trees to make them easier to turn into paper products. Lignin is a type of natural polymer found in ...
A cross-section of a Populus trichocarpa stem imaged under UV light to reveal the vascular tissues involved in wood formation. The glowing cell walls contain lignin, which provides structural strength ...

DULUTH — It’s been said that the true meaning of life is planting a tree "under whose shade you do not expect to sit," a hint, of course, that you’ll likely be dead before the tree gets that tall. But ...
In the eastern United States, a common hardwood tree, the yellow poplar, serves to benefit not only wildlife, but people as well. Yellow poplar, also known as “tulip tree,” isn’t actually in the same ...
SEBEKA, Minn. -- While researchers rush to develop new biomass sources for cellulosic ethnanol, Minnesota for a decade has been working on short-rotation, intensive of culture trees for energy and ...
