A Eucalyptus EST database was prepared and used for extracting genes specifically expressed in Eucalyptus reaction wood tissues using microarray analysis. As a result, genes were broadly classified into a gene cluster with a predominantly high expression, a gene cluster with a lower expression, and a gene cluster that is virtually unchanged, in Eucalyptus reaction wood as compared to ordinary trunks. It is thought that the gene cluster with predominantly high expression and the gene cluster with low expression can be used to control cell wall biosynthesis and wood fiber cell morphogenesis
