The invention discloses application of a PdeAPL
protein and a coding
gene thereof in regulating and controlling properties of a poplar material. According to the invention, a transgenic poplar overexpressed with PdeAPL and a transgenic poplar with reduced PdeAPL
gene expression quantity are constructed. Experiments prove that compared with a control group, the
plant height, the number of stem nodes and the length of the stem nodes of the transgenic poplar subjected to overexpression of the PdeAPL are all remarkably increased, and leaves become smaller; and the
plant height and the number of stem nodes of the transgenic poplar with reduced PdeAPL
gene expression quantity are reduced, the length of the stem nodes is increased, and the leaves are enlarged. In addition, the
xylem width of the transgenic poplar with reduced PdeAPL
gene expression quantity is reduced, and the areas of
xylem conduit cells,
xylem fiber cells and
phloem cells are increased. The method disclosed by the invention is of great significance to reveal the regulation and control
molecular mechanism of the development of the stem vascular of the forest, the tree form of the forest, the
growth speed and the improvement of the wood quality, and directionally cultivate the forest with the tree form or the material meeting the actual production requirements.
