Lignin is an integral part of secondary cell walls in plants and plays important roles in maintaining the strength of stems, enhancing transport ability of stems, and providing resistance to multiple stresses. Lignin biosynthesis has become one of the hotspots in molecular forest biology research. The AP1 transcription factor plays important roles in plant flower development. However, in this study, suppression ofBpAP1altered the transcription profiles of white birch and RNA-seq was used to find that suppression ofBpAP1changed the expression of lignin pathway-related genes;C4H/CYP73A,PODwere down-regulated andHCT,CCoAOMT,REF1andCADwere up-regulated. Cell walls of the suppressed transgenic birch were significantly thinner than the wild type of birch, andBpAP1-repressed birch contained less lignin. In addition to regulation of floral development,BpAP1might play a role in regulating the expression of genes in lignin biosynthesis of birch. This study could provide a new insight into the function ofAP1genes in woody species.
