The present specification relates to plant cell cycle genetic regulation. The invention specifically provides cell cycle polynucleotide and polypeptide sequences from Eucalyptus and Pinus that are, related to phenotypic characteristics such as wood stiffness, strength, density, fiber dimensions, coarseness, cellulose and lignin content, and extractives content. The genes and polynucleotides encode proteins that may be a cyclin, cyclin dependent kinase, cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor, histone acetyltransferase, histone deacetylase, peptidyl prolyl cis-trans isomerase, retinoblastoma-related protein, WEEl-like protein or WD40 repeat protein. |
