PIN3 from <i>Liriodendron</i> May Function in Inflorescence Development and Root Elongation

Auxin, the first discovered phytohormone, is important for the growth and development of plants through the establishment of homeostasis and asymmetry. Here, we cloned the auxin transporter gene <i>PIN-FORMED3</i> (<i>PIN3</i>) from the valuable timber tree hybrid <i>Li...

description Auxin, the first discovered phytohormone, is important for the growth and development of plants through the establishment of homeostasis and asymmetry. Here, we cloned the auxin transporter gene <i>PIN-FORMED3</i> (<i>PIN3</i>) from the valuable timber tree hybrid <i>Liriodendron</i> (<i>Liriodendron chinense</i> × <i>Liriodendron tulipifera</i>). The gene contained a complete open reading frame of 1917 bp that encoded 638 amino acids. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that LhPIN3 exhibited the highest sequence similarity to the PIN3 of <i>Vitis vinifera</i>. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis showed that <i>LhPIN3</i> was broadly expressed across different tissues/organs of <i>Liriodendron</i>, with the highest expression level in the roots. Heterologous overexpression of <i>LhPIN3</i> in <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i> caused considerable phenotypic changes, such as the root length and number of flowers. Genetic complementation of <i>Arabidopsis</i> <i>pin1</i> mutants by <i>LhPIN3</i>, driven by the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter, fully restored the root length and number of flowers of the <i>pin1</i> mutant. Overall, our findings reveal that <i>LhPIN3</i> has similar capacities to regulate the root length and number of flowers of <i>Arabidopsis</i> with <i>AtPIN1</i>.
