Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Eucgr.F00356
• Gene Symbol: EgPHI-1
• Gene Name: Eucalyptus globulus PHI-1
• Genome: E. grandis genome sequence database (http://www.phytozome.net/eucalyptus.php).
• Species: Eucalyptus globulus

Functional Descriptions:

• EgPHI-1, a PHOSPHATE-INDUCED-1 gene from Eucalyptus globulus, is involved in shoot growth, xylem fiber length and secondary cell wall properties.
• EgPHI-1 overexpression in transgenic tobacco changed the partitioning of biomass, favoring its allocation to shoots in detriment of roots.
• EgPHI-1 overexpression changes lignification of individual cell wall layers of fibers and vessels,EgPHI-1 overexpression reduces the cellulose content in stems.
• The results suggest that EgPHI-1 mediates the elongation of secondary xylem fibers, secondary cell wall thickening and composition, and lignification, making it an attractive target for biotechnological applications in forestry and biofuel crops.
