چکیده

A male flower-specific gene SlMF1 was isolated from male flower buds of the dioecious plant Silene latifolia. SlMF1 is expressed in all the floral meristems at the very early stage of development in both male and female flower buds. At the mature stage of development in male flower buds, SlMF1 transcripts were specifically accumulated in pollen mother cells, tapetal cells, and the developing tips of petals. Genomic Southern hybridization revealed that SlMF1 was a multicopy gene with a Y chromosome-linked homologous sequence. PCR analyses with flow-sorted chromosomes showed that SlMF1 was localized on both autosomes and the X chromosome.

Sequencing and phylogenetic study of APETALA1 homologous gene in garden cress (Lepidium sativum L.)

The flowering process in plants proceeds through the induction of an inflorescence meristem triggered by several pathways. Many of the genes associated with these pathways encode transcription factors of the MADS domain family. The MADS-domain transcription factor APETALA1 (AP1) is a key regulator of flower development. The first step to understand the molecular mechanisms under the function of...

GENERATION OF A GENE CONSTRUCT TO SIPA GENE DELETION OF SALMONELLA TYPHIMURIUM

Background & Aims: Salmonella Typhimurium is a negative-gram, non-spore, free capsule, moving bacteria with Trish Perry flagella. Salmonella is the most common cause of food poisoning. The ability to enter and survive in host cells is the condition for pathogenic Salmonella species. Proteins of invasive Salmonella are transferred to the host cells by bacteria. This study was performed for gener...

Gene Family: Structure, Organization and Evolution

  Gene families are considered as groups of homologous genes which they share very similar sequences and they may have identical functions. Members of gene families may be found in tandem repeats or interspersed through the genome. These sequences are copies of the ancestral genes which have underwent changes. The multiple copies of each gene in a family were constructed based on gene duplicati...

P-198: Analysis of Expression Level of TEX12 Gene in Testis Tissues of Severe Oligozoospermic and Non-Obstructive Azoospermic Men

Background: During the first meiotic prophase, alignment and synapsis of the homologous chromosomes are mediated by the synaptonemal complex. Incorrect assembly of the synaptonemal complex leads to impaired recombination and cell death, which in humans, causes infertility in males. Testis-expressed gene 12 (TEX12) is a germ cell-specific gene that is located on the chromosome 11 (11q22) in huma...

Searching the genome of beluga(Husohuso) for sex markers based on targeted Bulked SegregantAnalysis (BSA)

In sturgeon aquaculture, where the main purpose is caviar production, a reliable method is needed to separate fish according to gender. Currently, due to the lack of external sexual dimorphism, the fish are sexed by an invasive surgical examination of the gonads. Development of a non-invasive procedure for sexing fish based on genetic markers is of special interest. In the present study we empl...
