Genetic control of flower shape in Antirrhinum majus.
The asymmetric shape of the Antirrhinum corolla is determined by genes acting differentially along the dorsoventral axis of the flower. Genes so far identified determine asymmetry by acting in dorsal regions. We describe a gene, divaricata, which in contrast to previously identified genes acts in ventral regions of the flower. We show by the analysis of mutant combinations that the divaricata g...
متن کاملMolecular cytogenetic characterization of the Antirrhinum majus genome.
As a model system in classical plant genetics, the genus Antirrhinum has been well studied, especially in gametophytic self-incompatibility, flower development biology, and transposon-induced mutation. In contrast to the advances in genetic and molecular studies, little is known about Antirrhinum cytogenetics. In this study, we isolated two tandem repetitive sequences, CentA1 and CentA2, from t...
متن کاملChemotropic Response of the Pollen of Antirrhinum majus to Calcium.
An improved spectrophotometric method for the determination of lipoxidase activity was developed and applied in studies of the purified enzyme and crude enzyme preparations from leguminous seeds, with linoleic acid solubilized in Tween 20 as the substrate. The optimum pH was found to be 7.0, 6.5, 6.0, and 5.5, for purified soybean lipoxidase and for the crude lipoxidases extracted from gram flo...
متن کاملEvolution of novel morphological and reproductive traits in a clade containing Antirrhinum majus (Scrophulariaceae).
Phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences of the chloroplast genes rcbL and ndhf revealed a highly supported clade composed of the families Plantaginaceae, Callitrichaceae, and Hippuridaceae in close association with the model organism Antirrhinum majus and other members of family Scrophulariaceae. Plantago has miniature actinomorphic wind-pollinated flowers that have evolved from zygomorphic anim...
متن کاملFormation of monoterpenes in Antirrhinum majus and Clarkia breweri flowers involves heterodimeric geranyl diphosphate synthases.
The precursor of all monoterpenes is the C10 acyclic intermediate geranyl diphosphate (GPP), which is formed from the C5 compounds isopentenyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl diphosphate by GPP synthase (GPPS). We have discovered that Antirrhinum majus (snapdragon) and Clarkia breweri, two species whose floral scent is rich in monoterpenes, both possess a heterodimeric GPPS like that previously r...
