Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: PbWoxT1
• Gene Name: WUSCHEL-RELATEDHOMEOBOX WOX
• Genome:
• Species: Pyrus betulifolia

Functional Descriptions:

• PbWoxT1 mRNA from pear (Pyrus betulaefolia) undergoes long-distance transport assisted by a polypyrimidine tract binding protein.
• A 548-bp fragment of PbWoxT1 is critical in long-distance transport. PbWoxT1 is rich in CUCU polypyrimidine domains and its mRNAs interact with a polypyrimidine tract binding protein, PbPTB3.
• The expression of PbWoxT1 significantly increased in the stems of wild-type (WT) tobacco grafted onto the rootstocks of PbWoxT1 or PbPTB3 co-overexpressing lines, but this was not the case in WT plants grafted onto PbWoxT1 overexpressing rootstocks, suggesting that PbPTB3 mediates PbWoxT1 mRNA long-distance transport.
• These grafting experiments revealed a role for the PbPTB3 protein in assisting long-distance transport of PbWoxT1 mRNA, the mechanism of which is discussed.
