Analysis of the formation of flower shapes in wild species and cultivars of tree peony using the MADS-box subfamily gene 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Tree peony (Paeonia suffricotisa) cultivars have a unique character compared with wild species; the stamen petalody results in increased whorls of petals and generates different flower forms, which are one of the most important traits for cultivar classification. In order to investigate how petaloid stamens are formed, we obtained the coding sequence (666 bp) and genomic DNA sequence of the PsTM6 genes (belongs to B subfamily of MADS-box gene family) from 23 tree peony samples, Five introns and six exons consisted of the genomic DNA sequence. The analysis of cis-acting regulatory elements in the third and fourth intron indicated that they were highly conserved in all samples. Partial putative amino acids were analyzed and the results suggested that functional differentiation of PsTM6 paralogs apparently affected stamen petalody and flower shape formation due to due to amino acid substitution caused by differences in polarity and electronic charge. Sliding window analysis indicated that the different regions of PsTM6 were subjected to different selection forces, especially in the K domain. This is the first attempt to investigate genetic control of the stamen petalody based on the PsTM6 sequence. This will provide a basis for understanding the evolution of PsTM6 and its the function of in determining stamen morphology of tree peony. 相似文献

Hieracium is a member of the Asteraceae family, and contains sexual species in addition to apomictic species that reproduce by apospory
and produce seed without fertilization. A homologue of the floral organ-identity gene DEFICIENS (DEF) was isolated from an apomictic line of Hieracium piloselloides (Vill.) following differential display between mature ovules and those initiating autonomous embryogenesis. The gene termed
HPDEF has 93% amino acid identity with GDEF2, a DEF homologue isolated from Gerbera hybrida (D. Yu et al., 1999, Plant J. 17: 51–62), another member of the Asteraceae. In-situ analysis showed that early in floral
development HPDEF is expressed in stamen and petal primordia, indicating expected B-function activity, according to the ABC model of floral
organ identity (J. L. Bowman et al., 1991, Development 112: 1–20; E. S. Coen and E. M. Meyerowitz, 1991, Nature 353: 31–37).
However, HPDEF expression was also observed in ovule primordia and expression continued in developing ovules until anthesis, indicating
that this gene may have a role in ovule development. Expression of HPDEF was not detected in megaspore mother cells, or in sexual or aposporous embryo sacs. In sexual Hieracium, HPDEF was uniformly expressed throughout the ovule integument until anthesis. In most ovules of the apomict, however, HPDEF expression was transiently down-regulated in a specific zone in the chalazal region where cells initiating aposporous embryo
sac formation differentiate. Uniform low-level HPDEF expression was subsequently observed prior to anthesis in ovules from sexual and apomictic plants. HPDEF may be down-regulated as a consequence of apomictic initiation and/or its down-regulation may facilitate progression of apomictic
events.

Expression of AODEF,a B-functional MADS-box gene,in stamens and inner tepals of the dioecious species Asparagus officinalis L. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Garden asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) is a dioecious species with male and female flowers on separate unisexual individuals. Since B- and C-functional MADS-box genes specify male and female reproductive organs, it is important to characterize these genes to clarify the mechanism of sex determination in monoecious and dioecious species. In this study, we isolated and characterized AODEF gene, a B-functional gene in the development of male and female flowers of A. officinalis. Southern hybridization identified a single copy of AODEF gene in asparagus genome. Northern blot analysis showed that this gene was specifically expressed in flower buds and not in vegetative tissues. In situ hybridization showed that during early hermaphrodite stages, AODEFgene was expressed in the inner tepal and stamen whorls (whorls 2 and 3, respectively), but not in the outer tepals (whorl 1), in both male and female flowers. In late unisexual developmental stages, the expression of AODEF gene was still detected in the inner tepals and stamens of male flowers, but the expression was reduced in whorls 2 and 3 of female flowers. Our results suggest that AODEF gene is probably not involved in tepal development in asparagus and that the expression of AODEF gene is probably controlled directly or indirectly by sex determination gene in the late developmental stages. 相似文献

Petal and stamen identity of the Antirrhinum majus flower is under the genetic control of the floral homeotic gene DEFICIENS (DEF). To isolate factors involved in the regulation of DEF gene activity, a promoter segment of this B-function gene, containing cis-acting regulatory elements, was used to identify the novel trans-acting factor ROSINA (RSI). RSI does not show an extended similarity with any gene product present in the database. Rather RSI constitutes a protein that contains domains similar to known proteins from organisms of different phyla. The capacity of RSI to bind a sequence element of the DEF promoter, its spatial and temporal expression pattern together with the phenotype of RSI-RNAi interference plants as well as RSI over-expression in Arabidopsis thaliana suggest that RSI is a putative regulator of DEF gene activity in A. majus. 相似文献

A tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) monogenic semidominant mutation, stamenless (sl), which results in homeotic conversions in two adjacent floral whorls, was studied. When grown at standard temperature, flowers
of sl/sl plants showed sepaloid petals in the second whorl and strong transformation of stamens to carpels in whorl three. These transformed
carpels were fused with each other and with the genuine carpels in the fourth whorl to form a unique gynoecium. The mutation
is semidominant since heterozygous plants showed a phenotype intermediate between that of the wild type (WT) and that of homozygous
mutant plants, with nearly WT petals but with feminized stamens bearing naked ovules on the base of their adaxial face. The
initiation and position of organ primordia in sl/sl flowers were not altered when compared with WT primordia although development of organ primordia in the second and third
whorls deviated from WT at an early stage as observed by scanning electron microscopy. The mutant phenotype is temperature
sensitive and when sl/sl plants were cultured at low temperature, the morphology of some flowers resembled that of the WT. This reversion of the mutant
phenotype is also induced by treatment of young sl/sl plants with gibberellic acid, providing evidence that gibberellin synthesis or sensitivity could mediate the effect of low
temperature on the mutant phenotype. Southern blot analyses using a Deficiens-homologous gene from Solanum tuberosum as a probe showed a restriction-fragment-length polymorphism (RFLP) linked to the sl mutation. This result indicates that the mutation affects a Deficiens-like gene that controls the identity of petals and stamens.
