Characterization of MADS-box genes in charophycean green algae and its implication for the evolution of MADS-box genes.
The MADS-box genes of land plants are extensively diverged to form a superfamily and are important in various aspects of development including the specification of floral organs as homeotic selector genes. The closest relatives of land plants are the freshwater green algae charophyceans. To study the origin and evolution of land plant MADS-box genes, we characterized these genes in three charop...
متن کاملMADS-box evolution in green algae
Research by Peter Narins et al. suggests that the neural processes that come into play when humans are ‘‘tricked’’ by ventriloquists may also elucidate the neural processes of aggressive behavior in amphibians. Cross-modal spatial integration in the brain ‘‘binds’’ separate auditory and visual cues over a limited temporospatial range, and such integration is involved in the processing of sound ...
متن کاملMADS-box genes are involved in floral development and evolution.
MADS-box genes encode transcription factors in all eukaryotic organisms thus far studied. Plant MADS-box proteins contain a DNA-binding (M), an intervening (I), a Keratin-like (K) and a C-terminal C-domain, thus plant MADS-box proteins are of the MIKC type. In higher plants most of the well-characterized genes are involved in floral development. They control the transition from vegetative to ge...
متن کاملCharacterization of MADS box genes from hot pepper.
The cDNA clone, CanMADS1, was isolated from young flower buds of the hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) by screening a cDNA library using the OsMADS1 rice MADS-box gene as a probe. We used a yeast two-hybrid screening method to investigate interaction partners of the protein product of CanMADS1. A MADS-box gene, CanMADS6, was isolated from young flower buds using the region containing the K domain...
متن کاملFunction and diversification of MADS-box genes in rice.
MADS-box genes play critical roles in a number of developmental processes in flowering plants, such as specification of floral organ identity, control of flowering time, and regulation of fruit development. Because of their crucial functions in flower development, diversification of the MADS-box gene family has been suggested to be a major factor responsible for floral diversity during radiatio...
