[Chang-Hsien Yang] New Gene Identified in Phalaenopsis That Regulates Flowering Time and Reduces Floral Water Loss
Academician Chang-Hsien Yang and his team discovered that the orchid gene PaHAT14 promotes cuticle deposition and achieves this effect by repressing the expression of PaERF105. Both overexpression and virus-induced silencing of PaERF105 led to changes in cuticle deposition and floral water-loss rate. These results indicate that PaHAT14 promotes cuticle deposition through negative regulation of PaERF105. This study was published in Plant and Cell Physiology (Mao et al., 2024), and was selected as the cover article and a research highlight.
