Abstract
Novel isolated polynucleotides associated with programmed cell death and various plant developmental mechanisms are provided, together with genetic constructs comprising such sequences. Methods for the modulation of the content, structure and metabolism of forestry plants, and particularly for the modulation of PCD and various plant developmental mechanisms in forestry plants, are also disclosed, the methods comprising incorporating one or more of the polynucleotides or genetic constructs of the present invention into the genome of a forestry plant.
