    Article Snippet: For Y2H assays, the coding sequences of LSD3 , GluTRBP , and GBSSII were cloned into pGADT7 (prey) or pGBKT7 (bait) vectors, and the fusion constructs were transferred into the GAL4 Y2H system (Clontech, Dalian, China).

    PtrLAZY1 transcription is unaffected in TAC1‐CRISPR hybrid poplars, and PtrTAC1 does not interact with PtrLAZY1 at the protein level. (a) Semi‐quantitative RT‐PCR analysis of PtrTAC1‐1 , PtrTAC1‐2 , PtrWEEP and PtrLAZY1 expression in BH, TAC1‐CRISPR lines (#24 and #26) and Lombardy poplar. PtrACTIN2 was used as a loading control. (b) Schematic showing the upper and lower petiole regions used for tissue‐specific transcriptional analysis in (c). The upper and lower parts were separated by the red dashed line. (c) Semi‐quantitative RT‐PCR analysis of PtrTAC1‐1 , PtrLAZY1 and PtrWEEP in the upper and lower petiole tissues of BH and TAC1‐CRISPR lines (#24 and #26) with PtrACTIN2 as a control. (d) Yeast two‐hybrid (Y2H) assay testing protein–protein interaction between PtrTAC1‐1 and PtrLAZY1. Y2H assay was performed by using various combinations of vector constructions (right, see Section ). AtSTM/AD+PtrTALE12ΔC/BD serves as a positive control (Bae et al. ). Yeast was grown on selective media: SD‐W (−Trp), SD‐LW (−Leu, −Trp) and SD‐AHLW (−Ade, –His, −Leu, −Trp). AD and BD represent pGADT7 (activation domain, Leu selection) and pGBKT7 (binding domain, Trp selection) vectors, respectively.
