In angiosperm flower development the identity of the floral organs is determined by the A, B and C factors. Here we present the characterisation of three homologues of the A class gene APETALA2 (AP2) from the conifer Picea abies (Norway spruce), Picea abies APETALA2 LIKE1 (PaAP2L1), PaAP2L2 and PaAP2L3. Similar to AP2 these genes contain sequence motifs complementary to miRNA172 that has been shown to regulate AP2 in Arabidopsis. The genes display distinct expression patterns during plant development; in the female-cone bud PaAP2L1 and PaAP2L3 are expressed in the seed-bearing ovuliferous scale in a pattern complementary to each other, and overlapping with the expression of the C class-related gene DAL2. To study the function of PaAP2L1 and PaAP2L2 the genes were expressed in Arabidopsis. The transgenic PaAP2L2 plants were stunted and flowered later than control plants. Flowers were indeterminate and produced an excess of floral organs most severely in the two inner whorls, associated with an ectopic expression of the meristem-regulating gene WUSCHEL. No homeotic changes in floral-organ identities occurred, but in the ap2-1 mutant background PaAP2L2 was able to promote petal identity, indicating that the spruce AP2 gene has the capacity to substitute for an A class gene in Arabidopsis. In spite of the long evolutionary distance between angiosperms and gymnosperms and the fact that gymnosperms lack structures homologous to sepals and petals our data supports a functional conservation of AP2 genes among the seed plants. 相似文献

The floral organ morphogenesis of the apetalous flower mutant Apet33-10 in Brassica napus was investigated and the result showed that all the floral organ morphogenesis was normal except that petal primordium was
not observed during flower development. Eighteen genes were found to be down regulated in early floral buds (less than 200 μm
in length) of Apet33-10 at the stage of floral organ initiation by means of suppressive subtraction hybridization (SSH) and
RT-PCR. These genes were involved in petal identity, calcium iron signal transduction, mRNA processing, protein synthesis
and degradation, construction of cytoskeleton, hydrogen transportation, nucleic acid binding, alkaloid biosynthesis and unknown
function. Three overall coding region cDNAs of APETALA3 (AP3) gene, BnAP3-2, BnAP3-3 and BnAP3-4 were obtained by RT-PCR, respectively. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis showed that the expression ratio among BnAP3-2, BnAP3-3 and BnAP3-4 was 3.67:3.68:1 in early floral buds of wild type Pet33-10. The expression level of BnAP3-2, BnAP3-3 and BnAP3-4 in early floral buds of Apet33-10 was down-regulated to 36.6, 28.3 and 66.8% with the comparison of that of wild type, respectively,
and the overall expression level of AP3 genes in apetalous mutant amounted to 45.0% of that in wild type. The difference in the expression level of each AP3 gene in stamen between apetalous and wild type lines was not significant. It is suggested that lower abundant expression
of AP3 genes during the early flower development might be enough for stamen primordium initiation, but not enough for petal primordium
initiation in the apetalous line Apet33-10.

C2H2 zinc-finger proteins play important roles in plant development including floral organogenesis, leaf initiation, lateral shoot initiation, gametogenesis and seed development. The gene for one such protein from Arabidopsis, AtZFP1 (Arabidopsis thalianazinc-finger protein 1), is expressed at high levels in the shoot apex, including the apical meristem, developing leaves and the developing vascular system. In light-grown seedlings, AtZFP1 expression is induced about three days after germination, before the expansion of the true leaves. Dark-grown plants, in which photomorphogenesis is repressed, have no detectable AtZFP1 expression in the shoot apex. Under conditions which induce or mimic photomorphogenic development including growth in the light, shifting dark-grown plants to continuous light or growth on cytokinin in the dark, high levels of AtZFP1 expression are detected. Furthermore, AtZFP1 expression does not depend on active photosynthesis as shown by analysis of plants grown on the carotenoid biosynthetic inhibitor norflurazon. These results are discussed in relation to a possible role for AtZFP1 in shoot development, downstream of photomorphogenic activation. 相似文献

Summary A family of genes expressed during early stages of shoot development were isolated fromPinus radiata. A homologue of theLEAFY/FLORICAULA flower meristem-identity genes,NEEDLY (NLY), and three MADS-box genes,PrMADS1, PrMADS2 andPrMADS3 (Pinus radiata MADS-box genes), were expressed at early stages of initiation and differentiation of reproductive (male and female) cone buds, as well as vegetative buds. Expression ofNLY in transgenicArabidopsis thaliana promoted floral fate, demonstrating that it encodes a functional ortholog of theFLORICAUL A/LEAFY genes of angiosperms.Abbreviations DSB

类伸展蛋白(Leucine-Rich Repeats Extensins,LRX)是一类细胞壁嵌合蛋白,其N端包含一个LRR(leucine-rich repeats)结构域,C端含Extensins结构域。研究表明,LRX基因家族在拟南芥(Arabidopsis thaliana)花粉萌发和花粉管生长过程中具有重要作用,而水稻(Oryza sativa L.) LRX基因家族是否在调控花粉发育方面具有保守的生物学功能尚不清楚。本研究首先进行了生物信息学分析,结果显示,水稻LRX基因家族包括8个成员,OsPEX3、OsLRX3、OsLRX5位于水稻第1号染色体;OsLRX1、OsLRX3、OsLRX2、OsPEX1和OsPEX2分别位于第2、第5、第6、第11和第12号染色体,其中OsPEX1基因在花粉中高表达,暗示OsPEX1可能参与了花粉发育调控。为此,本研究采用RNAi技术进一步研究了OsPEX1基因对花粉发育的影响。结果表明,OsPEX1基因的RNAi转基因植株花粉败育,结实率仅为10%-30%。qRT-PCR分析显示,这些RNAi转基因植株OsPEX1基因表达量显著低于野生型... 相似文献

Arabidopsis AGL13 is a member of the AGL6 clade of the MADS box gene family. GUS activity was specifically detected from the initiation to maturation of both pollen and ovules in AGL13:GUS Arabidopsis. The sterility of the flower with defective pollen and ovules was found in AGL13 RNAi knockdown and AGL13 + SRDX dominant‐negative mutants. These results indicate that AGL13 acts as an activator in regulation of early initiation and further development of pollen and ovules. The production of similar floral organ defects in the severe AGL13 + SRDX and SEP2 + SRDX plants and the similar enhancement of AG nuclear localization efficiency by AGL13 and SEP3 proteins suggest a similar function for AGL13 and E functional SEP proteins. Additional fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) analysis indicated that, similar to SEP proteins, AGL13 is able to interact with AG to form quartet‐like complexes (AGL13–AG)2 and interact with AG–AP3–PI to form a higher‐order heterotetrameric complex (AGL13–AG–AP3–PI). Through these complexes, AGL13 and AG could regulate the expression of similar downstream genes involved in pollen morphogenesis, anther cell layer formation and the ovule development. AGL13 also regulates AG/AP3/PI expression by positive regulatory feedback loops and suppresses its own expression through negative regulatory feedback loops by activating AGL6, which acts as a repressor of AGL13. Our data suggest that AGL13 is likely a putative ancestor for the E functional genes which specifies male and female gametophyte morphogenesis in plants during evolution. 相似文献
