Expression and Function of Populus Homologs to TERMINAL FLOWER 1 Genes: Roles in Onset of Flowering and Shoot Phenology

Creator:

Mohamed, Rozi

Abstract:

We isolated and characterized the expression of two genes from Populus trichocarpa that are homologous to the TERMINAL FLOWER 1 (TFL1) gene from the model annual plant Arabidopsis. In Arabidopsis, overexpression of the TFL1 gene extends the vegetative growth phase, and the homozygous mutant tfl1 allele causes early flowering and...

Stability of reporter gene expression and RNAi in transgenic poplars over multiple years in the field under vegetative propagation

Creator:

Li, Jingyi

Abstract:

Stable expression of transgenes is required for commercial uses of genetically engineered trees. To better understand the stability of transgene expression under field conditions, we studied transgene expression and RNA interference (RNAi)-induced transgene suppression in 2,480 transgenic poplars (460 transgene insertion events) over three years. Stability of expression was assessed...
