Functional diversification of AGAMOUS lineage genes in regulating tomato flower and fruit development
AGAMOUS clade genes encode MADS box transcription factors that have been shown to play critical roles in many aspects of flower and fruit development in angiosperms. Tomato possesses two representatives of this lineage, TOMATO AGAMOUS (TAG1) and TOMATO AGAMOUS-LIKE1 (TAGL1), allowing for an analysis of diversification of function after gene duplication. Using RNAi (RNA interference) silencing, ...
متن کاملFunctional analyses of two tomato APETALA3 genes demonstrate diversification in their roles in regulating floral development.
The floral homeotic APETALA3 (AP3) gene in Arabidopsis thaliana encodes a MADS box transcription factor required for specifying petal and stamen identities. AP3 is a member of the euAP3 lineage, which arose by gene duplication coincident with radiation of the core eudicots. Although Arabidopsis lacks genes in the paralogous Tomato MADS box gene 6 (TM6) lineage, tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) pos...
متن کاملRegulation of Late-Stage Flower Development by Downstream Genes of the Homeotic Protein AGAMOUS
The genes and pathways AG regulates in late-stage flower development are largely unknown. Several putative downstream genes of AG involved in anther dehiscence were identified, including DAD1, MYB26, OPR3, COI1, and RBR1, through a bioinformatics approach. A 35S::AG-GR inducible line was constructed for timed-induction expression analysis of anther dehiscence versus indehiscence, which revealed...
متن کاملTranscriptional Activity of the MADS Box ARLEQUIN/TOMATO AGAMOUS-LIKE1 Gene Is Required for Cuticle Development of Tomato Fruit.
Fruit development and ripening entail key biological and agronomic events, which ensure the appropriate formation and dispersal of seeds and determine productivity and yield quality traits. The MADS box gene Arlequin/tomato Agamous-like1 (hereafter referred to as TAGL1) was reported as a key regulator of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) reproductive development, mainly involved in flower developme...
متن کاملFlower and fruit development in Arabidopsis thaliana.
The study of flower development has experienced great advances over the last 15 years. The most important landmark was the proposal of the ABC model in which three different functions of overlapping activities account for the development of the four rings of organs of the eudicot flower. Most interestingly, during recent years this simple and elegant model has been broadly accepted and is appli...
