小麦花发育MADS-box基因的表达模式分析
Expression Patterns ofMADS-box Genes Related to Flower Development of Wheat
摘要
Abstract
The objective of this study was to elucidate the molecular mechanism of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) flower develop-ment. According to the phylogenetic tree ofMADS- box genes from different species, we found that wheat contained all kinds of genes involved in the ABCDE model for flower development. The expression patterns of A-, B-, C-, D-, and E-class genes were analyzed by semi-quantitative and quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR). WheatAP1/FUL geneTaFUL (A-class) was expressed in all floral organs with the highest expression level in lemmas and paleas. GenesTaAP3 (B-class),TaAG(C-class) showed conservative expression patterns in specific organs, i.e.,TaAP3 was expressed in lodicules and stamens whereasTaAGwas expressed in sta-mens and pistils. TheOsMADS13 homologous gene in wheat (D-class) was expressed in both pistils and lodicules, suggesting its function in lodicule and ovule development simultaneously. GeneTaSEP (E-class) was mainly expressed in paleas and the in-ner-three whorls. LHS1 is a grass-specific gene family and belongs to E-class. The expression ofTaLHS1 was detected in lemmas, paleas, and glumes of wheat.TaDL, the homologous gene of rice DROOPING LEAF (DL) controlling carpel development, was expressed in glumes, lemmas and carpels. These results suggest a conservative molecular mechanism for flower development in wheat, but some genes may have diversified functions due to evolution. The expression evidence ofTaDL andTaLHS1 in glumes, in combination with the morphology and structure analyses of glume, lemma and palea, implied that lemma and glume might originate from the same organ in wheat.关键词
