Generation and analysis of an Eucalyptus globulus cDNA library constructed from seedlings subjected to low temperature conditions
ABSTRACT: Eucalyptus globulus is the most important commercial temperate hardwood in the world because of its wood properties and due to its characteristics for biofuel production. However, only a very low number of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) are publicly available for this tree species. We constructed a cDNA from E. globulus seedlings subjected to low […]

Isolation and characterization of a cDNA encoding a CBF transcription factor from E. globulus
ABSTRACT: The transcription factors CBF/DREB play an important role during low temperature, drought and high-salt stress in higher plants. In this work, we isolated one full-length CBF cDNA clone from the angiosperm Eucalyptus globulus. The derived peptide sequence reveals that it encodes a transcriptional activator that has all the characteristic motifs present in CBF proteins previously described […]
