Abstract in Portuguese
Apenas muito recentemente estratégias genômicas e pós-genômicas têm sido utilizadas em estudos de espécies arbóreas importantes na silvicultura. Nos países tropicais, a exemplo do Brasil, as espécies de eucalipto são especialmente importantes nos plantios comerciais principalmente destinados à indústria de papel e celulose. O eucalipto é caracterizado por elevadas taxas de crescimento e alta adaptabilidade resultante da interação de mecanismos moleculares e processos metabólicos ainda pouco conhecidos. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo principal o estabelecimento de perfis transcricionais comparativos para folhas e para o xilema em formação de árvores de Eucalyptus grandis. grandis. O uso do método SAGE permitiu analisar 5864 genes dos quais 2247 (38%) puderam ser identificados. Foram encontrados 464 genes diferencialmente expressos, sendo 47 exclusivamente expressos na região cambial e 64 nas folhas. Além disso, as estratégias adotadas na identificação tags-genes permitiram que as SAGE tags fossem eficientemente utilizadas na diferenciação de isoformas gênicas tecido-específicas e de localização celular específica. Genes relacionados à fotossíntese, fotorrespiração e destoxificação celular foram preferencialmente encontrados na biblioteca SAGE de folhas, enquanto genes relacionados à síntese da parede celular, organização do citoesqueleto e respiração, foram preferencialmente expressos na biblioteca SAGE de madeira. Os níveis de expressão dos transcritos sugeriram a ocorrência de possíveis mecanismos de controle transcricional comum para grupos de genes funcionalmente relacionados e foram também utilizados para sugestão de genes e processos que representam alvos potenciais para o melhoramento do eucalipto.

Abstract in English
Recently genomic and post-genomic strategies have been used to study important tree species in planted forests. In the tropical countries, like Brazil, Eucalyptus species are especially important in commercial plantations destined for the paper and cellulose industry. Eucalyptus species are characterized by their high growth rates and great adaptability resulting from the interaction between molecular mechanisms and metabolic processes that are still uncharacterized. Thus, the main goal of this work was the comparison of the transcriptional profiles from leaves and the cambial region of Eucalyptus grandis trees. The use of SAGE allowed the evaluation of 5864 expressed tags of which 2247 (38%) could be identified. 464 differentially expressed tags were indicated, of which 47 were exclusively expressed in the cambial region library and 64 in the leaf library. Furthermore, the strategies used in the tag mapping process allowed an efficient use of the SAGE tags to distinguish gene isoforms with tissue-specific and/or specific cell localizations. Genes related to photosynthesis, photorespiration and cellular detoxification were preferentially found in the SAGE leaf library, while genes involved in cell wall biosynthesis, cytoskeletal organization and respiration were preferentially expressed in the developing xylem. Transcript expression levels suggested the presence of a common transcriptional control for a few functionally related genes, for example, some lignin related genes. Importantly, transcript expression levels were also used for the identification of target genes and processes potentially useful in future Eucalyptus breeding programs.
