Objective
The main aim is enzyme discovery from 8000 hybrid aspen EST-sequences for their eventual use in fibre engineering. The stepwise selection scheme includes:
1) Identification of genes highly expressed during wood formation using the micro array technology for reran expression profiling,
2) Novel bio informatics software for sensitive analysis of distant evolutionary relationships and modular structures of selected enzymes,
3) Heterogonous expression and enzymatic characterization of selected enzymes,
4) Fibre analysis of Arabidopsis mutants in orthologous genes by reverse genetics,
5) Protein expression, localization and fibre analyses in transgenic aspen with up/Dow regulated expression of selected genes,
6) Micro pulping of selected fibre samples to correlate the enzymatic activities with final product properties.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
