Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Potri.006G229200
• Gene Symbol: PdGNC
• Gene Name:
• Genome:
• Species: Populus trichocarpa

Functional Descriptions:

• The GATA transcription factor GNC (PdGNC) plays an important role in photosynthesis and growth in poplar.
• PdGNC-overexpressing transformants exhibited 25–30% faster growth, 20–28% higher biomass accumulation, and ~25% increase in chlorophyll content, photosynthetic rate, and plant height, compared with the wild type.
• These data indicated that PdGNC plays a crucial role in plant growth and is potentially useful in tree molecular breeding.
• Transcriptomic analysis showed that PdGNC was involved in photosynthetic electron transfer and carbon assimilation in the leaf, cell division and carbohydrate utilization in the stem, and nitrogen uptake in the root.
• Expression modification of PdGNC reveals GNC-associated regulation of vegetative growth, chlorophyll content, and vascular development.
