The MADS-box gene SOC1/TM3 (SUPPRESSOR OF OVEREXPRESSION OF CONSTANS 1/ Tomato MADS-box gene 3) is a main integrator in the Arabidopsis flowering pathway; its structure and function are highly conserved in many plant species. SOC1-like genes have been isolated in chrysanthemum, one of the most well-known ornamental plants, but it has not been well characterized thus far. We isolated and characterized ClSOC1-1 and ClSOC1-2, two putative orthologs of Arabidopsis SOC1, from the wild diploid chrysanthemum, Chrysanthemum lavandulifolium, to investigate the regulatory mechanisms of flowering time control in chrysanthemum. Expression analysis indicated that ClSOC1-1 and ClSOC1-2 were expressed in all examined organs/tissues (leaves, shoot apices, petioles, stems and roots) with different expression levels, and with high expression in the shoot apices and leaves during the early stage of floral transition. The expression levels of ClSOC1-1 and ClSOC1-2 in the shoot apices increased at different developmental stages with the highest expression levels after 7 days of short-day treatment. Overexpression of ClSOC1-1 and ClSOC1-2 in wild-type Arabidopsis resulted in early flowering, which was coupled with the upregulation of one of the flowering promoter genes LEAFY. Our results suggested that the ClSOC1-1 and ClSOC1-2 genes play an evolutionarily conserved role in promoting flowering in Chrysanthemum lavandulifolium and could serve as a vital target for the genetic manipulation of flowering time in the chrysanthemum. 相似文献

Background and Aims
The family of MADS box genes is involved in a number of processes besides controlling floral development. In addition to supplying homeotic functions defined by the ABC model, they influence flowering time and transformation of vegetative meristem into inflorescence meristem, and have functions in roots and leaves. Three Gerbera hybrida At-SOC1-like genes (Gh-SOC1–Gh-SOC3) were identified among gerbera expressed sequence tags.Methods
Evolutionary relationships between SOC1-like genes from gerbera and other plants were studied by phylogenetic analysis. The function of the gerbera gene Gh-SOC1 in gerbera floral development was studied using expression analysis, protein–protein interaction assays and reverse genetics. Transgenic gerbera lines over-expressing or downregulated for Gh-SOC1 were obtained using Agrobacterium transformation and investigated for their floral phenotype.Key Results
Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the closest paralogues of At-SOC1 are Gh-SOC2 and Gh-SOC3. Gh-SOC1 is a more distantly related paralogue, grouping together with a number of other At-SOC1 paralogues from arabidopsis and other plant species. Gh-SOC1 is inflorescence abundant and no expression was seen in vegetative parts of the plant. Ectopic expression of Gh-SOC1 did not promote flowering, but disturbed the development of floral organs. The epidermal cells of ray flower petals appeared shorter and their shape was altered. The colour of ray flower petals differed from that of the wild-type petals by being darker red on the adaxial side and greenish on the abaxial surface. Several protein–protein interactions with other gerbera MADS domain proteins were identified.Conclusions
The At-SOC1 paralogue in gerbera shows a floral abundant expression pattern. A late petal expression might indicate a role in the final stages of flower development. Over-expression of Gh-SOC1 led to partial loss of floral identity, but did not affect flowering time. Lines where Gh-SOC1 was downregulated did not show a phenotype. Several gerbera MADS domain proteins interacted with Gh-SOC1. 相似文献5.

In Arabidopsis, expression of FLC and FLC-related genes (collectively called FLC clade) contributes to flowering time in response to environmental changes, such as day length and temperature, by acting as floral repressors. VIN3 is required for vernalization-mediated FLC repression and a VIN3 related protein, VIN3-LIKE 1/VERNALIZATION 5 (VIL1/VRN5), acts to regulate FLC and FLM in response to vernalization.1–3 VIN3 also exists as a small family of PHD finger proteins in Arabidopsis, including VIL1/VRN5, VIL2/VEL1, VIL3/VEL2 and VIL4/VEL3. We showed that the PHD finger protein, VIL2, is required for proper repression of MAF5, an FLC clade member, to accelerate flowering under non-inductive photoperiods. VIL2 acts together with POLYCOMB REPRESSIVE COMPLEX 2 (PRC2) to repress MAF5 in a photoperiod dependent manner.Key words: photoperiod, chromatin, floweringThe decision to flower is critical to the survival of flowering plants. Thus, plants sense environmental cues to initiate floral transition at a time that both ensures and optimizes their own reproductive fitness. Using a model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, genetic studies have shown that the regulation of floral transition mainly consists of four genetic pathways: the inductive photoperiod pathway, the autonomous pathway, the vernalization pathway and the gibberellin pathway.4 In Arabidopsis, these four flowering pathways eventually merge into a group of genes called floral integrators, including FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT), SUPPRESSOR OF OVEREXPRESSION OF CONSTANS 1 (SOC1) and LEAFY (LFY). Based on the response to specific photoperiod conditions, the flowering behaviors of plants can be classified into three groups: long day (LD), short day (SD) and day neutral response.5,6 Depending on the requirement of day length, plants show either obligate or facultative responses. For example, henbane, carnation and ryegrass are obligate long day (LD) flowering plants which flower under increasing inductive photoperiod but do not flower at all under non-inductive photoperiod.5 On the other hand, plants including Arabidopsis, wheat, lettuce and barley, are considered to be facultative flowering plants. Thus, these plants exhibit early flowering under LD and late-flowering under non-inductive short days (SD). Studies on photoperiodic flowering time mainly focus on the inductive LD-photoperiod pathway in Arabidopsis. 相似文献

The Chinese lantern phenotype or inflated calyx syndrome (ICS) is a postfloral morphological novelty in Physalis. Its origin is associated with the heterotopic expression of the MADS box gene 2 from Physalis floridana (MPF2) in floral organs, yet the process underlying its identity remains elusive. Here, we show that MPF3, which is expressed specifically in floral tissues, encodes a core eudicot APETALA1-like (euAP1) MADS-domain protein. MPF3 was primarily localized to the nucleus, and it interacted with MPF2 and some floral MADS-domain proteins to selectively bind the CC-A-rich-GG (CArG) boxes in the MPF2 promoter. Downregulating MPF3 resulted in a dramatic elevation in MPF2 in the calyces and androecium, leading to enlarged and leaf-like floral calyces; however, the postfloral lantern was smaller and deformed. Starch accumulation in pollen was blocked. MPF3 MPF2 double knockdowns showed normal floral calyces and more mature pollen than those found in plants in which either MPF3 or MPF2 was downregulated. Therefore, MPF3 specifies calyx identity and regulates ICS formation and male fertility through interactions with MPF2/MPF2. Furthermore, both genes were found to activate Physalis floridana invertase gene 4 homolog, which encodes an invertase cleaving Suc, a putative key gene in sugar partitioning. The novel role of the MPF3-MPF2 regulatory circuit in male fertility is integral to the origin of ICS. Our results shed light on the evolution and development of ICS in Physalis and on the functional evolution of euAP1s in angiosperms. 相似文献

Flowering is a prerequisite for pear fruit production. Therefore, the development of flower buds and the control of flowering time are important for pear trees. However, the molecular mechanism of pear flowering is unclear. SOC1, a member of MADS-box family, is known as a flowering signal integrator in Arabidopsis. We identified eight SOC1-like genes in Pyrus bretschneideri and analyzed their basic information and expression patterns. Some pear SOC1-like genes were regulated by photoperiod in leaves. Moreover, the expression patterns were diverse during the development of pear flower buds. Two members of the pear SOC1-like genes, PbSOC1d and PbSOC1g, could lead to early flowering phenotype when overexpressed in Arabidopsis. PbSOC1d and PbSOC1g were identified as activators of the floral meristem identity genes AtAP1 and AtLFY and promote flowering time. These results suggest that PbSOC1d and PbSOC1g are promoters of flowering time and may be involved in flower bud development in pear. 相似文献

BrAGL20 (SOC1) containing MADS box, a floral integrator gene, was introduced into Brassica napus cv. “Youngsan” by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Constitutively overexpressed BrAGL20 under the CaMV 35S promoter induced early flowering time compared to the wild-type. These phenotypes were stably inherited through generations T2 and T3, regardless of planting season. The expression of the floral meristem identity genes LFY and AP1 seemed to appear rapidly in the shoot apex region of transgenic plants showing the early flowering time phenotype. These results suggest that overexpression of BrAGL20 can significantly affect the flowering time of B. napus, and regulation of floral integrator gene expression could be applied for adaptation of crops to local environments and climate changes. 相似文献

Regulation of flowering time by Arabidopsis MSI1 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The transition to flowering is tightly controlled by endogenous programs and environmental signals. We found that MSI1 is a novel flowering-time gene in Arabidopsis. Both partially complemented msi1 mutants and MSI1 antisense plants were late flowering, whereas ectopic expression of MSI1 accelerated flowering. Physiological experiments revealed that MSI1 is similar to genes from the autonomous promotion of flowering pathway. Expression of most known flowering-time genes did not depend on MSI1, but the induction of SOC1 was delayed in partially complemented msi1 mutants. Delayed activation of SOC1 is often caused by increased expression of the floral repressor FLC. However, MSI1 function is independent of FLC. MSI1 is needed to establish epigenetic H3K4 di-methylation and H3K9 acetylation marks in SOC1 chromatin. The presence of these modifications correlates with the high levels of SOC1 expression that induce flowering in Arabidopsis. Together, the control of flowering time depends on epigenetic mechanisms for the correct expression of not only the floral repressor FLC, but also the floral activator SOC1. 相似文献
