Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: PtotAPX
  • Gene Name: thylakoid APX
  • Genome:
  • Species: Populus tomentosa

Functional Descriptions:

  • Chloroplast thylakoid ascorbate peroxidase PtotAPX plays a key role in chloroplast development by decreasing hydrogen peroxide in Populus tomentosa.
  • Suppression of PtotAPX expression retards chloroplast development, while overexpression of PtotAPX promotes chloroplast development.
  • PtotAPX-mediated removal of ROS is critical for the development of chloroplasts from proplastids upon exposure to light.
  • Based on these results, we propose that PtotAPX-mediated removal of reactive oxygen species plays a key role in chloroplast development from proplastids upon exposure to light in P. tomentosa.
