Gene Details:
- Gene ID: Potri.002G124100
- Gene Symbol: PtrWOX4b
- Gene Name: WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX4
- Genome:
- Species: Populus trichocarpa
Functional Descriptions:
- WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX4 (WOX4)-like genes regulate cambial cell division activity and secondary growth in Populus trees.
- PttWOX4 genes are specifically expressed in the cambial region during vegetative growth, but not after growth cessation and during dormancy, possibly involving a regulation by auxin.
- PttWOX4 genes control cell division activity in the vascular cambium, and hence growth in stem girth.
- Our results suggest that a similar mechanism involving PttWOX4a/b, PttCLE41-related genes and the LRR-RLK gene PttPXYa regulates the identity and activity of the vascular cambium in trees.
