Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: PtGT1
  • Gene Name: putative glycosyltransferase1
  • Genome:
  • Species: Populus tomentosa

Functional Descriptions:

  • Over-expression of a putative poplar glycosyltransferase gene, PtGT1, in tobacco increases lignin content and causes early flowering.
  • The PtGT1 gene was expressed in poplar stems and leaves, with a particularly high expression level in elongating stems.
  • The ectopic over-expression of PtGT1 in tobacco resulted in an early flowering phenotype.
  • hese findings offer a possible starting point towards better understanding of the function of poplar PtGT1, and provide a novel strategy for lignin engineering and flowering control in plants through the genetic manipulation of a poplar glycosyltransferase gene.
