Orchestration of floral initiation by APETALA1.
The MADS-domain transcription factor APETALA1 (AP1) is a key regulator of Arabidopsis flower development. To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying AP1 function, we identified its target genes during floral initiation using a combination of gene expression profiling and genome-wide binding studies. Many of its targets encode transcriptional regulators, including known floral repressors....
متن کاملPrenylation of the floral transcription factor APETALA1 modulates its function.
The Arabidopsis MADS box transcription factor APETALA1 (AP1) was identified as a substrate for farnesyltransferase and shown to be farnesylated efficiently both in vitro and in vivo. AP1 regulates the transition from inflorescence shoot to floral meristems and the development of sepals and petals. AP1 fused to green fluorescent protein (GFP) retained transcription factor activity and directed t...
متن کاملOrchestration of the floral transition and floral development in Arabidopsis by the bifunctional transcription factor APETALA2.
The Arabidopsis thaliana transcription factor APETALA2 (AP2) has numerous functions, including roles in seed development, stem cell maintenance, and specification of floral organ identity. To understand the relationship between these different roles, we mapped direct targets of AP2 on a genome-wide scale in two tissue types. We find that AP2 binds to thousands of loci in the developing flower, ...
متن کاملCell-cell signaling and movement by the floral transcription factors LEAFY and APETALA1.
LEAFY (LFY) and APETALA1 (AP1) encode unrelated transcription factors that activate overlapping sets of homeotic genes in Arabidopsis flowers. Sector analysis and targeted expression in transgenic plants were used to study whether LFY and AP1 can participate in cell-cell signaling between and within different layers of the floral meristem. LFY signaled equally well from all layers and had subst...
متن کاملThe Reaction Controlling Floral Initiation.
Reproduction in many plants and animals is controlled by the length of the night and the cycle of day and night. A dark reaction affords the measure of time and this reaction can be quickly stopped or reversed by light such as that from the rising sun. The reaction is possibly universal in living forms but its more extreme and evident manifestation is recognized to a rather limited extent. Thus...
