摘要

Transgenic trees capable of assimilating nitrate and high concentrations accumulate more biomass in the form of cellulose, and methods and associated uses. The present invention relates to transgenic trees exhibiting ability to assimilate nitrate and high concentrations accumulate more biomass as cellulose; breads trees, seedlings, tissues, seeds, cells, protoplasts and other transgenic propagation material; Methods for producing transgenic tree exhibiting high ability to assimilate nitrate concentrations and accumulate more biomass as cellulose; and methods for modulating the ability to absorb high concentrations of nitrate and accumulate more biomass in the form of cellulose in such trees. The present invention is applicable, among others, in phytoremediation soil and water, and obtaining biomass for wood and / or paper and / or biofuels production.
