Molecular 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 کاملGenetic 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 کاملTemperature shift coordinately changes the activity and the methylation state of transposon Tam3 in Antirrhinum majus.
The transposition frequency of Tam3 in Antirrhinum majus, unlike that of most other cut-and-paste-type transposons, is tightly controlled by temperature: Tam3 transposes rarely at 25 degrees C, but much more frequently at 15 degrees C. Here, we studied the mechanism of the low-temperature-dependent transposition (LTDT) of Tam3. Our results strongly suggest that LTDT is not likely to be due to e...
متن کاملMolecular analysis of a transposon-induced deletion of the nivea locus in Antirrhinum majus.
The transposable element Tam3 of Antirrhinum majus is capable of causing large-scale chromosomal restructuring. It induced a large deletion at the nivea locus, to produce the allele niv-:529. The deletion removed the entire nivea coding region while the element remains intact with the potential to induce further rearrangements. Genetic experiments showed that the endpoint of the deletion (calle...
