Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: BpMADS4
• Gene Name: MADS box protein4
• Genome:
• Species: Betula pendula

Functional Descriptions:

• Heterologous overexpression of the birch FRUITFULL-like MADS-box gene BpMADS4 prevents normal senescence and winter dormancy in Populus tremula L.
• The constitutive expression of the BpMADS4 gene from birch in poplar, known to induce early flowering in birch and apple, induced broad changes in senescence and winter dormancy but no early flowering.
• BpMADS4 may be influencing transcription factors regulating the senescence and dormancy process due to homology with poplar proteins related to both traits.
• The constitutive expression of BpMADS4 seems to radically change the senescence program in poplar.
