Description
A family of gene switches in birch trees may help the tree cope with salty soil, in a 2024 study by Yang Li and co-authors. The PLATZ family, found only in plants, binds DNA with zinc's help and guides growth and stress responses.
The team cataloged ten PLATZ genes in the birch genome, sorted into five groups by relatedness. Kin genes shared similar building blocks and layouts, and the ten were scattered across eight of the birch's fourteen chromosomes. Their control regions bristled with elements tied to salt stress and hormone signals. Gene activity ran highest in roots, and several family members switched on or off under salt in patterns that mark them as candidates for breeding tougher birch.
