Abstract: HD-Zip gene family plays an important role in light signal transduction, abiotic stress and leaf development. HB22 transcription factor is a member of HD-ZipⅠ subfamily. In order to investigate the function of PsnHB22 gene, PsnHB22 gene was cloned from Populus simonii×P.nigra. The expression vector was transformed into tobacco(Nicotiana tabacum). The phenotype of transgenic tobacco was observed after PCR and qRT-PCR detection. The results showed that the leaves of transgenic tobacco were narrow and the plants were significantly lower than those of wild type tobacco during vegetative growth period. The chlorophyll content of transgenic tobacco and wild-type tobacco leaves was determined. The chlorophyll content of transgenic tobacco was significantly higher than that of wild-type tobacco. PsnHB22 gene plays an important role in plant height growth, photosynthesis and leaf morphogenesis.

Key words: Populus simonii×P.nigra, PsnHB22 gene, HD-Zip transcription factor, Nicotiana tabacum, chlorophyll content
