Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: PdEPF1
  • Gene Name: epidermal patterning factor 1
  • Genome:
  • Species: Populus deltoides

Functional Descriptions:

  • PdEPF1 regulates water-use efficiency and drought tolerance by modulating stomatal density in poplar.
  • PdEPF1 overexpression resulted in increased water deficit tolerance and greater WUE.
  • PdEPF1 overexpression not only strongly enhanced WUE, but also greatly improved drought tolerance, as measured by the leaf relative water content and water potential, under limited water conditions.
  • Our data suggest that PdEPF1 improves WUE and confers drought tolerance in poplar| thus, it could be used to breed drought-tolerant plants with increased production under conditions of water deficiency.
