Abstract
Axial system in gymnosperms wood is mostly constituted by tracheids, on which relay the transport of water and nutrients and the mechanical support of aerial parts. However, it also includes a small proportion of parenchymatic cells, usually associated to resin ducts, mainly formed in the late wood. Few gymnosperm species, such as P. canariensis, show higher proportion of this tissue. These species display noticeable healing and even resprouting ability, probably associated to the abundance of axial parenchyma. In this work we report the construction of EST (expressed sequence tag) libraries from developing xylem at the beginning of the growing season and during the summer, in order to identify candidate genes involved in the differentiation of the diverse cell types. Their expression patterns during the growing season have been analysed using microarrays
