An Arabidopsis thaliana (Ler) inbred line exhibiting stacked stem/inflorescences mainly due to the reduced AP1 expression

چکیده
Background Bolting is regarded as the initiation of reproduction stage in the growth and development of an Arabidopsis plant, when a set of floral integrator genes activate the expression of floral meristem identity genes LFY and AP1 to initiate flowering transition[1,2]. However, how the expression of key genes, such as AP1, responds of diverse signals during flower development remains largely unknown. Here we have obtained an inbred line exhibiting an abnormal stem/inflorescence and flower development.

FRIGIDA LIKE 2 is a functional allele in Landsberg erecta and compensates for a nonsense allele of FRIGIDA LIKE 1.
The Landsberg erecta (Ler) accession of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) has a weak allele of the floral inhibitor FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC). FLC-Ler is weakly up-regulated by the active San Feliu-2 (Sf2) allele of FRIGIDA (FRI-Sf2), resulting in a moderately late-flowering phenotype. By contrast, the Columbia (Col) allele of FLC is strongly up-regulated by FRI-Sf2, resulting in a very late-flo...
متن کاملFunctional analysis of glycin rich- RNA binding protein, a suppressor of trehalose-6-phosphate mediating growth arrest in Arabidopsis thaliana
Metabolism of the alpha-1,1 glucose disaccharide, trehalose, is indispensable in plants. In the Murashigeand Skoog (MS) medium, trehalose inhibits plant growth and allocation of carbon to roots. A suppressorof trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P) mediated growth arrest, GR-RBP2, is characterized in more detail.Phylogenetic analysis revealed that GR-RBP2 is a protein of likely prokaryot...
متن کاملDt2 is a gain-of-function MADS-domain factor gene that specifies semideterminacy in soybean.
Similar to Arabidopsis thaliana, the wild soybeans (Glycine soja) and many cultivars exhibit indeterminate stem growth specified by the shoot identity gene Dt1, the functional counterpart of Arabidopsis TERMINAL FLOWER1 (TFL1). Mutations in TFL1 and Dt1 both result in the shoot apical meristem (SAM) switching from vegetative to reproductive state to initiate terminal flowering and thus produce ...
متن کاملNatural variation for seed dormancy in Arabidopsis is regulated by additive genetic and molecular pathways.
Timing of germination is presumably under strong natural selection as it determines the environmental conditions in which a plant germinates and initiates its postembryonic life cycle. To investigate how seed dormancy is controlled, quantitative trait loci (QTL) analyses has been performed in six Arabidopsis thaliana recombinant inbred line populations by analyzing them simultaneously using a m...
متن کاملDifferential Expression of Arabidopsis thaliana Acid Phosphatases in Response to Abiotic Stresses
The objective of this research is to identify Arabidopsis thaliana genes encoding acid phosphatases induced by phosphate starvation. Multiple alignments of eukaryotic acid phosphatase amino acid sequences led to the classification of these proteins into four groups including purple acid phosphatases (PAPs). Specific primers were degenerated and designed based on conserved sequences of PAPs isol...
