Abstract:

To investigate the mechanism underlying branching in Lagerstroemia indica,both standard and dwarf compact L. indica strains were used as material,the function of three genes involved in auxin transport and response,namely LfiPIN1LfiPIN6 and LfiARF9,were analyzed using virus-induced gene silencing(VIGS)in L. indica and overexpression techniques in Nicotiana tabacum. The effects of these genes on lateral bud initiation and lateral branch length in L. indica were examined. The results showed that LfiPIN6 and LfiARF9 negatively regulate the number of lateral branches in L. indica by inhibiting the sprouting of lateral buds. LfiPIN1 and LfiPIN6 positively regulate the length of lateral branches by regulating the auxin content in newly formed lateral branches. LfiARF9 was found to have no effect on lateral branch length.

Key words: Lagerstroemia indica, branching, auxin, function verification
