Genome-Wide Investigation of the PtrCHLP Family Reveals That PtrCHLP3 Actively Mediates Poplar Growth and Development by Regulating Photosynthesis.

ABSTRACT: Chlorophyll (Chl) plays a crucial role in plant photosynthesis. The geranylgeraniol reductase gene (CHLP) participates in the terminal hydrogenation of chlorophyll biosynthesis. Although there are many studies related to the genome-wide analysis of Populus trichocarpa, little research has been conducted on CHLP family genes, especially those concerning growth and photosynthesis. In this study, three CHLP genes were identified in Populus. The evolutionary tree indicated that the CHLP family genes were divided into six groups. Moreover, one pair of genes was derived from segmental duplications in Populus. Many elements related to growth were detected by cis-acting element analysis of the promoters of diverse PtrCHLPs.
