How does PagHSF4 affect the expression of downstream target genes in poplar?
Label:chem
Topic
PagHSF4 is a transcription factor that can bind to specific DNA sequences in the promoters of target genes, thereby regulating their expression. The study identified several downstream target genes regulated by PagHSF4.
From: "PagHSF4 mediates the biosynthesis of jasmonic acid and plant hormone signal transduction to regulate the growth and development as well as salt stress tolerance of poplar", Industrial Crops and Products, Volume 234, 15 October 2025, 121582
Answer
PagHSF4 regulates the expression of key downstream target genes, including LHY2, PIF3, MBF1C, TCF1, MGD2, HMP41, and TBL38. It also upregulates pivotal enzyme genes associated with jasmonic acid biosynthesis, enhancing JA production and influencing plant hormone signaling pathways. This regulation is crucial for modulating plant growth, development, and stress responses.
