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.
