ABSTRACT
The NF-Y gene family in plants plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, encompassing hormone response, stress response, as well as growth and development. In this study, we first used bioinformatics techniques to identify members of the NF-YA family that may function in wood formation. We then used molecular biology techniques to investigate the role and molecular mechanism of PtrNF-YA6 in secondary cell wall (SCW) formation in Populus trichocarpa. We found that PtrNF-YA6 protein was localized in the nucleus and had no transcriptional activating activity. Overexpression of PtrNF-YA6 had an inhibitory effect on plant growth and development and significantly suppressed hemicellulose synthesis and SCW thickening in transgenic plants. Yeast one-hybrid and ChIP-PCR assays revealed that PtrNF-YA6 directly regulated the expression of hemicellulose synthesis genes (PtrGT47A-1, PtrGT8C, PtrGT8F, PtrGT43B, PtrGT47C, PtrGT8A and PtrGT8B). In conclusion, PtrNF-YA6 can inhibit plant hemicellulose synthesis and SCW thickening by regulating the expression of downstream SCW formation-related target genes.
