6. Conclusions
To summarize, poplar appears to be a very useful experimental model to analyse wood formation at the molecular level. With large EST collections and full genome sequence publicly available, genomics approach, which has been successfully used for elucidating the regulation of Arabidopsis can be used in poplar to a great extent. Finally, the conservation at the genetic and developmental level between poplar and Arabidopsis at least in terms of fundamental processes related to wood formation promises the possibility to use Arabidopsis as a test bed for analysis of the function of genes involved in wood formation.
