Plant hormones, including the gaseous plant hormone ethylene, are important regulators of wood formation both due to environmental cues and in determining growth patterns. However, little is known about the role of ethylene in these processes at molecular level. Thus, sequencing of the black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) genome facilities a great tool for such research.
