Isolation and Functional Characterization of DREB Transcription Factor and Genes Involved in Lignin Biosynthetic Pathway from Broussonetia Papyrifera L.
Common papermulberry (Broussonetia papyrifera L.), classified as moroideae, is a light-loving deciduous arbor and an endemic production forest in China. It is distributed among most region of China and adapts well to various environmental stresses, such as good tolerances to drought and leanness, and growing in acid soil. In particular, it has been considered as an important paper pulp resource owing to its fibre with high quality and growing fast. In this paper, a DREB-like gene and two genes i...
