Comprehensive Analyses of Four PtoNF-YC Genes from Populus tomentosa and Impacts on Flowering Timing.

ABSTRACT: Flowering is an important link in the life process of angiosperms, and it is also an important sign of the transformation of plants from vegetative to reproductive growth. Although the flowering regulation network of Arabidopsis is well-understood, there has been little research on the molecular mechanisms of perennial woody plant flower development regulation. Populus tomentosa is a unique Chinese poplar species with fast growth, strong ecological adaptability, and a long lifecycle. However, it has a long juvenile phase, which seriously affects its breeding process. Nuclear factor-Y (NF-Y) is an important type of transcription factor involved in the regulation of plant flowering. However, there are few reports on PtoNF-Y gene flowering regulation, and the members of the PtNF-YC subfamily
