Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: LjIPT3
• Gene Name: isopentenyltransferase3
• Genome:
• Species: Lotus japonicus

Functional Descriptions:

• Knockdown of LjIPT3 influences nodule development in Lotus japonicus.
• LjIPT3 was undetectable in the nodule primordia and developing nodules, and later it was expressed only in the vascular bundles of mature nodules.
• knockdown of LjIPT3 (LjIPT3i) by RNA interference reduced levels of endogenous cytokinins, affected plant development and accelerated Chl degradation during dark-induced leaf senescence.
• Therefore, our results indicate that the LjIPT3 gene product is required for nodule initiation and development, and does not appear to be involved in early infection events.
