Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: CsRAV1
  • Gene Name: Related to ABI3 and Viviparous 1
  • Genome:
  • Species: Castanea sativa

Functional Descriptions:

  • CsRAV1 induces sylleptic branching in hybrid poplar.
  • Transgenic hybrid poplars over-expressing CsRAV1 or showing RNA interference down-regulated PtaRAV1 and PtaRAV2 expression were produced and analyzed.
  • Over-expression of the CsRAV1 gene induces the early formation of sylleptic branches in hybrid poplar plantlets during the same growing season in which the lateral buds form. Only minor growth differences and no changes in wood anatomy are produced.
  • The possibility of generating trees with a greater biomass by manipulating the CsRAV1 gene makes CsRAV1 transgenic plants promising candidates for bioenergy production.
