Introduction

Ramie
Ramie
Subshrubs/shrubs
Generously distributed
Auxin Signaling Machineries
Auxin-binding protein 1 (ABP1)
Unresolved problems
Unknown role in leaf pattern and
ontogeny of leaf venation
Transport inhibitor response 1/ Auxin-
related F-box (TIR1/AFB)
Well characterized
Mutant genes involved in incomplete
vascular system and deffects.
Objectives
To investigate the role of ABP1 gene
in Ramie shoot development,
especially leaf vascular development
by transforming Ramie plants with
ABP1 antisense gene construct
