Overexpression of xyloglucanase (AaXEG2) accelerates heteroblastic development in mangium leaves
Journal of Wood Science volume 57, pages 463–469 (2011)
Abstract
Transgenic mangium trees (Acacia mangium) overexpressing xyloglucanase (AaXEG2) were generated by spraying flower buds with Agrobacterium solution and allowing seeds to develop. The overexpression of xyloglucanase decreased xyloglucan content in the cell walls and increased stem length and diameter. The leaves of the transgenic seedlings exhibited accelerated heteroblastic development, proceeding from the stage of three bipinnate leaves to that of enlarging petiole 2 weeks earlier than wild type seedlings did.
