The formation of flowers starts when floral meristems develop on the flanks of the inflorescence meristem. In Arabidopsis the identity of floral meristems is promoted and maintained by APETALA1 (AP1) and CAULIFLOWER (CAL). In the ap1 cal double mutant the meristems that develop on the flanks of the inflorescence meristem are unable to establish floral meristem identity and develop as inflorescence meristems on which new inflorescence meristems subsequently proliferate. We demonstrate in contrast to previous models that AGAMOUS-LIKE 24 (AGL24) and SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE (SVP) are also floral meristem identity genes since the ap1-10 agl24-2 svp-41 triple mutant continuously produces inflorescence meristems in place of flowers. Furthermore, our results explain how AP1 switches from a floral meristem identity factor to a component that controls floral organ identity. 相似文献

Flower development can be divided into four major steps: phase transition from vegetative to reproductive growth, formation of inflorescence meristem, formation and identity determination of floral organs, and growth and maturation of floral organs. Intercellular and intracellular signalling mechanisms must have important roles in each step of flower development, because it requires cell division, cell growth, and cell differentiation in a concerted fashion. Molecular genetic analysis of the process has started by isolation of a series of mutants with unusual flowering time, with aberrant structure in inflorescence and in flowers, and with no self-fertilization. At present more than 60 genes are identified from Arabidopsis thaliana and some of them have cloned. Although the information is still limited, several types of signalling systems are revealed. In this review, we summarize the present genetic aspects of the signalling network underlying the processes of flower development. 相似文献

Orchids are known for their beauty and complexity of flower and ecological strategies. The evolution in orchid floral morphology, structure, and physiological properties has held the fascination of botanists for centuries, from Darwin through to the present. In floral studies, MADS‐box genes contributing to the now famous ABCDE model of floral organ identity control have dominated conceptual thinking. The sophisticated orchid floral organization offers an opportunity to discover new variant genes and different levels of complexity to the ABCDE model. Recently, several remarkable research reports on orchid MADS‐box genes, especially B‐class MADS‐box genes, have revealed the evolutionary track and important functions on orchid floral development. Diversification and fixation of both paleoAP3 gene sequences and expression profiles might be explained by subfunctionalization and even neofunctionalization. Knowledge about MADS‐box genes encoding ABCDE functions in orchids will give insights into the highly evolved floral morphogenetic networks of orchids. 相似文献

Previous studies on Arabidopsis thaliana and other model plants have indicated that the development of a flower is controlled by a regulatory network composed of genes and the interactions among them.Studies on the evolution of this network will therefore help understand the genetic basis that underlies flower evolution.In this study,by reviewing the most recent published work,we added 31 genes into the previously proposed regulatory network for flower development.Thus,the number of genes reached 60.We then compared the composition,structure,and evolutionary rate of these genes between A.thaliana and one of its allies,A.lyrata.We found that two genes (FLC and MAF2) show 1∶ 2 and 2∶ 2 relationships between the two species,suggesting that they have experienced independent,post-speciation duplications.Of the remaining 58 genes,35 (60.3％) have diverged in exon-intron structure and,consequently,code for proteins with different sequence features and functions.Molecular evolutionary analyses further revealed that,although most floral genes have evolved under strong purifying selection,some have evolved under relaxed or changed constraints,as evidenced by the elevation of nonsynonymous substitution rates and/or the presence of positively selected sites.Taken together,these results suggest that the regulatory network for flower development has evolved rather rapidly,with changes in the composition,structure,and functional constraint of genes,as well as the interactions among them,being the most important contributors. 相似文献

The haploid generation of flowering plants develops within the sporophytic tissues of the ovule. After fertilization, the maternal seed coat develops in a coordinated manner with formation of the embryo and endosperm. In the arabidopsis bsister (abs) mutant, the endothelium, which is the most inner cell layer of the integuments that surround the haploid embryo sac, does not accumulate proanthocyanidins and the cells have an abnormal morphology. However, fertility is not affected in abs single mutants. SEEDSTICK regulates ovule identity redundantly with SHATTERPROOF 1 (SHP1) and SHP2 while a role in the control of fertility was not reported previously. Here we describe the characterization of the abs stk double mutant. This double mutant develops very few seeds due to both a reduced number of fertilized ovules and seed abortions later during development. Morphological analysis revealed a total absence of endothelium in this double mutant. Additionally, massive starch accumulation was observed in the embryo sac. The phenotype of the abs stk double mutant highlights the importance of the maternal-derived tissues, particularly the endothelium, for the development of the next generation. 相似文献

The Arabidopsis floral organ identity genes APETALA3 (AP3) and PISTILLATA (PI) encode related DNA-binding proteins of the MADS family. Considerable evidence supports the hypothesis that a heterodimer of AP3 and PI is an essential component of B class activity. All ap3 and pi alleles characterized to date exhibit equivalent phenotypic defects in both whorls 2 and 3. In strong ap3 and pi mutants, petals and stamens are missing and sepals and carpels develop in their place. Weak ap3 and pi mutants exhibit partial conversions of petals to sepals and stamens to carpels. In this report, we describe the isolation and characterization of pi-5, an unusual B class mutant that exhibits defects in whorl 2 where sepals develop in place of petals, but third whorl stamens are most often normal. pi-5 flowers resemble those from 35S::SEP3 antisense plants. pi-5 contains missense mutation in the K domain (PIE125K). PIE125K exhibits defects in heterodimerization with its partner protein AP3. Via a reverse yeast two-hybrid screen, AP3K139E was isolated as a compensatory mutant of PIE125K. The compensatory interaction between PIE125K and AP3K139E is observed both in yeast two-hybrid assays and in planta. On its own, AP3K139E exhibits defects in specifying both petal and stamen identity. In addition, PIE125K is defective in interaction with SEPALLATA proteins in both two- and three-hybrid assays suggesting that PIE125K is defective in forming higher order complexes of MADS proteins. The decreased concentration of PI/AP3/SEP complexes offers an explanation for the petal defects observed in both pi-5 and 35S::SEP3 antisense plants. 相似文献

Flowering time in many plants is triggered by environmental factors that lead to uniform flowering in plant populations, ensuring higher reproductive success. So far, several genes have been identified that are involved in flowering time control. AGL20 (AGAMOUS LIKE 20) is a MADS domain gene from Arabidopsis that is activated in shoot apical meristems during the transition to flowering. By transposon tagging we have identified late flowering agl20 mutants, showing that AGL20 is involved in flowering time control. In previously described late flowering mutants of the long-day and constitutive pathways of floral induction the expression of AGL20 is down-regulated, demonstrating that AGL20 acts downstream to the mutated genes. Moreover, we can show that AGL20 is also regulated by the gibberellin (GA) pathway, indicating that AGL20 integrates signals of different pathways of floral induction and might be a central component for the induction of flowering. In addition, the constitutive expression of AGL20 in Arabidopsis is sufficient for photoperiod independent flowering and the over-expression of the orthologous gene from mustard, MADSA, in the classical short-day tobacco Maryland Mammoth bypasses the strict photoperiodic control of flowering. 相似文献

Petals, defined as the showy laminar floral organs in the second floral whorl, have been shown to be under similar genetic control in distantly related core eudicot model organisms. On the basis of these findings, it is commonly assumed that the petal identity program regulated by B-class MADS-box gene homologs is invariant across the core eudicot clade. However, the core eudicots, which comprise >70% of angiosperm species, exhibit numerous instances of petal and sepal loss, transference of petal function between floral whorls, and recurrent petal evolution. In the face of these complex patterns of perianth evolution, the concept of a core eudicot petal identity program has not been tested. We therefore examined the petal identity program in the Caryophyllales, a core eudicot clade in which perianth differentiation into sepals and petals has evolved multiple times. Specifically, we analyzed the expression patterns of B- and C-class MADS-box homologs for evidence of a conserved petal identity program between sepal-derived and stamen-derived petaloid organs in the 'living stone' family Aizoaceae. We found that neither sepal-derived nor stamen-derived petaloid organs exhibit gene expression patterns consistent with the core eudicot petal identity program. B-class gene homologs are not expressed during the development of sepal-derived petals and are not implicated in petal identity in stamen-derived petals, as their transient expression coincides with early expression of the C-class homolog. We therefore provide evidence for petal development that is independent of B-class genes and suggest that different genetic control of petal identity has evolved within this lineage of core eudicots. These findings call for a more comprehensive understanding of perianth variation and its genetic causes within the core eudicots--an endeavor that will have broader implications for the interpretation of perianth evolution across angiosperms. 相似文献

Plant pathogens alter the course of plant developmental processes, resulting in abnormal morphology in infected host plants. Phytoplasmas are unique plant‐pathogenic bacteria that transform plant floral organs into leaf‐like structures and cause the emergence of secondary flowers. These distinctive symptoms have attracted considerable interest for many years. Here, we revealed the molecular mechanisms of the floral symptoms by focusing on a phytoplasma‐secreted protein, PHYL1, which induces morphological changes in flowers that are similar to those seen in phytoplasma‐infected plants. PHYL1 is a homolog of the phytoplasmal effector SAP54 that also alters floral development. Using yeast two‐hybrid and in planta transient co‐expression assays, we found that PHYL1 interacts with and degrades the floral homeotic MADS domain proteins SEPALLATA3 (SEP3), APETALA1 (AP1) and CAULIFLOWER (CAL). This degradation of MADS domain proteins was dependent on the ubiquitin–proteasome pathway. The expression of floral development genes downstream of SEP3 and AP1 was disrupted in 35S::PHYL1 transgenic plants. PHYL1 was genetically and functionally conserved among other phytoplasma strains and species. We designate PHYL1, SAP54 and their homologs as members of the phyllody‐inducing gene family of ‘phyllogens’. 相似文献
