- Description:
- Western red cedar (Thuja plicata) heartwood contains abundant amounts of structurally complex plicatic acid-derived lignans that help confer protective properties and longevity to this tissue type. Although the lignan biochemical entry point is dirigent protein-mediated, the formation of heartwood and its associated lignans in some species remains poorly understood due to technical difficulties of working with the former. To begin to address such questions, this study therefore focused on the anatomical localization of dirigent protein and 18s rRNA (control) gene transcripts within recalcitrant woody tissues, including heartwood.
