Long-day induction of flowering in Lolium temulentum involves sequential increases in specific gibberellins at the shoot apex.
One challenge for plant biology has been to identify floral stimuli at the shoot apex. Using sensitive and specific gas chromatography-mass spectrometry techniques, we have followed changes in gibberellins (GAs) at the shoot apex during long day (LD)-regulated induction of flowering in the grass Lolium temulentum. Two separate roles of GAs in flowering are indicated. First, within 8 h of an ind...
متن کاملLong-day up-regulation of a GAMYB gene during Lolium temulentum inflorescence formation.
Long-day exposure of the grass Lolium temulentum may regulate flowering via changes in gibberellin (GA) levels. Therefore, we have examined both GA levels and expression of a MYB transcription factor that is specific to the GA signal transduction pathway in monocots. This MYB gene from L. temulentum shows over 90% nucleotide identity with the barley and rice GAMYB genes, and, like them, gibbere...
متن کاملMorphogenesis at the inflorescence shoot apex of Anagallis arvensis: surface geometry and growth in comparison with the vegetative shoot
Quantitative analysis of geometry and surface growth based on the sequential replica method is used to compare morphogenesis at the shoot apex of Anagallis arvensis in the reproductive and vegetative phases of development. Formation of three types of lateral organs takes place at the Anagallis shoot apical meristem (SAM): vegetative leaf primordia are formed during the vegetative phase and leaf...
متن کاملGibberellins, Endogenous and Applied, in Relation to Flower Induction in the Long-Day Plant Lolium temulentum.
Changes in endogenous gibberellin-like substances (GAs) and related compounds in the shoot apices of Lolium temulentum during and after flower induction by one long day was examined for plants grown in three consecutive years. The total GA level in the shoot apical tissue was high (up to 42 micrograms per gram dry weight, or 3 x 10(-5) molar GA(3) equivalents), increasing several-fold on the da...
متن کاملEvolution of floral meristem identity genes. Analysis of Lolium temulentum genes related to APETALA1 and LEAFY of Arabidopsis.
Flowering (inflorescence formation) of the grass Lolium temulentum is strictly regulated, occurring rapidly on exposure to a single long day (LD). During floral induction, L. temulentum differs significantly from dicot species such as Arabidopsis in the expression, at the shoot apex, of two APETALA1 (AP1)-like genes, LtMADS1 and LtMADS2, and of L. temulentum LEAFY (LtLFY). As shown by in situ h...
