The overexpression of the pine transcription factor PpDof5 in Arabidopsis leads to increased lignin content and affects carbon and nitrogen metabolism.

Transcriptional profiling of Arabidopsis transgenic plants overexpresing PpDof5, a transcription factor of Pinus pinaster. Plants were grown with nitrate or ammonium as unique source of nitrogen Four-condition experiment: wt Arabidopsis vs. transgenic Arabidopsis plants overexpressing PpDof5 grown with nitrate or ammonium. 2 Biological replicates and 2 technical replicates.
