AbstractThe VQ protein family is plant-specific, and is involved in growth, development, and biotic and abiotic stress responses. In this study, we found that the gene expression of poplar VQ1Populus trichocarpaVQ1Arabidopsis thalianaArabidopsisMPK6NPR1PDF1.2WRKY70ABI1KUP6NCED2Pseudomonas syringaeVQ1Arabidopsis
