Two MADS box genes, Lily MADS Box Gene 2 (LMADS2) and Eustoma grandiflorum MADS Box Gene 1 (EgMADS1), with an extensive similarity to the petunia (Petunia hybrida) FLORAL BINDING PROTEIN 7/11 and Arabidopsis AGL11, were characterized from the lily (Lilium longiflorum) and lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum). The expression of LMADS2 and EgMADS1 mRNA was restricted to the carpel and was absent in ...

The effects of seedling age and temperature regimes and durations on the reversal of Eustoma grandiflorum (Raf.) Shin. heat-induced rosette formation were clarified. When E. grandiflorum seedlings were grown in a natural-light phytotron (600-800 μmol·m·s) for 4 weeks at 33/28C (12-h day/12-h night) from germination to the four true-leaf stage, the optimum temperature and duration required to br...

Lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum L.) is a very popular, ornamental plant. Due to low germination of its seeds, usual techniques for its propagation are not efficient. The present study was aimed to establish callus from explants of different plant parts of Eustoma grandiflorum L. Raf Shinners in B5, LS and MS media with modifications.  The results showed that among different plant parts, leaf e...

This study investigated genetic polymorphism related to anthocyanin composition variation in lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum) flower petals. Three different bands were detected by genomic polymerase chain reaction using specific primers based on the reported flavonoid 3',5'-hydroxylase (F3'5'H) gene sequence. Our revealed that they allelic. They named F3'5'H1-1, F3'5'H1-2, and f3'5'h1-2. F3'5'...
