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...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Rozi Mohamed for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Forest
Maintenance of normal vegetative growth via attenuation of barnase as an agent of floral tissue ablation in Populus

Creator:

Wei, Hao

Abstract:

To reduce the environmental impacts caused by gene flow from transgenic trees, reproductive sterility genes have been developed that use a floral regulatory element linked to a cell toxin. This results in dysfunction or ablation of floral tissues, causing sterility. However, floral promoters often permit low levels of expression in...
