Abstract:

Serine hydroxy methyltransferases(SHMTs) played an important role in the one-carbon(C1) metabolism pathway in plant cells. We identified 9 SHMT genes from the genome of Populus trichocarpa. Populus eFP resource showed that 7 PtrSHMTs were expressed in multiple tissues, among which PtrSHMT9 was the most highly expressed gene in xylem. By analysis of RT-PCR and Aspwood, PtrSHMT9 had a high level in secondary wall thickening of stem wood tissue, suggested its involvement in poplar wood formation. Using Cas9/gRNA technique, PtrSHMT9-edited mutants were prepared and 4 different ptrshmt9 knockouts were obtained. Our results provided basic information and genetic material for exploring the function of SHMT and PtrSHMT9 in trees.

Key words: Populus trichocarpa, SHMT, ptrshmt9mutant, Cas9/gRNA
