Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Potri.007G132700.1
• Gene Symbol: PtrDRIF1
• Gene Name: DIVARICATA AND RADIALIS INTERACTING FACTOR 1
• Genome: Phytozome: Populus trichocarpa v3.0
• Species: Populus trichocarpa

Functional Descriptions:

• PtrDRIF1 interacted with members of other families within the homeodomain-like superfamily, including PtrWOX13c, a WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX protein, and PtrKNAT7, a KNOTTED1-LIKE HOMEOBOX protein.
• DIVARICATA AND RADIALIS INTERACTING FACTOR (DRIF1) also interacts with WOX and KNOX proteins associated with wood formation in Populus trichocarpa.
• It will be interesting to determine in future studies whether the newly discovered PtrDRIF1 interactors, PtrWOX13c and PtrKNAT7, are components of a PtrDRIF1-mediated xylem regulatory module for integrating cambium cell proliferation, versus commitment to differentiation (PtrWOX13c), with the extent of vessel expansion (PtrRAD1 and PtrDIV) regulated by the timing of lignification (PtrKNAT7).
