physiological function | analysis of 30 pectate lyase-like genes in Populus trichocarpa. Most of the PL1 genes from subgroups Ia and Ib are highly expressed in xylem. Isoform PL1-18 from subgroup Ia is preferentially expressed in developing primary xylem and in xylem cells that are developing secondary walls. Overexpression of PL1-18 in poplar reduces plant growth and xylem development. Reduced secondary cell wall thickening and irregular xylem cells are observed in the transgenic trees, probably due to their lower pectin content | Populus trichocarpa |
