Book Synopsis B and C Class MADS-box Genes and the Developmental Genetics of Maize Flower Development by : Clinton Jeremy Whipple
Download or read book B and C Class MADS-box Genes and the Developmental Genetics of Maize Flower Development written by Clinton Jeremy Whipple and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ABC model of flower development describes how a flower is patterned and the genes necessary for floral organ identity. However, it is not clear that the ABC model can be generally applied to the flowering plants, as it was based solely on genetic studies from the core eudicot species Arabidopsis and Antirrhinum. This dissertation describes an examination of maize orthologs of B and C class genes, and compares their function with B and C class genes of Arabidopsis to understand the degree to which the ABC model is conserved. B class genes from maize were found to rescue Arabidopsis B class mutants, and the maize B class proteins were shown to bind DNA as an obligate heterodimer as has been demonstrated in Arabidopsis. These findings indicate conservation in biochemical function of the maize and Arabidopsis B class proteins. Furthermore, these findings support the conclusion that the lodicule, a grass specific organ of uncertain homology, represents a modified petal. A comparative expression approach was used to further verify the relationship of lodicules to the organs of non-grass flowers. B class genes were shown to be expressed in a whorl of foliar organs outside the stamens in Streptochaeta, a basal grass that diverged before the evolution of lodicules, and in the petals of the outgroup species Joinvillea and Chondropetalum strongly supporting the interpretation that lodicules are modified petals, and further supporting conservation of B class function between Arabidopsis and maize. Zag1 and Zmm2 are duplicate pair of C class genes from maize that are hypothesized to have partitioned the C class function of establishing stamen and carpel identity. Rescue of the Arabidopsis C class mutant ag with the two maize genes confirms that their protein products have subfunctionalized, with ZAG1 better able to promote carpel identity, and ZMM2 better able to promote stamen identity. A more recent duplicate of Zmm2 was isolated, Zmm23, as were mutant alleles of zmm2 and zmm23. While the zmm2 zmm23 double mutant had no phenotype, the zag1 zmm2 zmm23 showed a considerable enhancement of the previously described zag1 phenotype substantiating a C class function for Zmm2 and Zmm23.

Download or read book Petunia written by Tom Gerats and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-12-11 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Petunia belongs to the family of the Solanaceae and as such is closely related to important crop species like tomato, potato, eggplant, pepper and tobacco. With around 35 species described it is one of the smaller genera and among those there are two groups of species that make up the majority of them: the purple flowered P.integrifolia group and the white flowered P.axillaris group. It is assumed that interspecific hybrids between members of these two groups have laid the foundation for the huge variation in cultivars as selected from the 1830’s onwards. Petunia thus has been a commercially important ornamental since the early days of horticulture. Despite that, Petunia was in use as a research model only parsimoniously until the late fifties of the last century. By then seed companies started to fund academic research, initially with the main aim to develop new color varieties. Besides a moment of glory around 1980 (being elected a promising model system, just prior to the Arabidopsis boom), Petunia has long been a system in the shadow. Up to the early eighties no more then five groups developed classical and biochemical genetics, almost exclusively on flower color genes. Then from the early eighties onward, interest has slowly been growing and nowadays some 20-25 academic groups around the world are using Petunia as their main model system for a variety of research purposes, while a number of smaller and larger companies are developing further new varieties. At present the system is gaining credibility for a number of reasons, a very important one being that it is now generally realized that only comparative biology will reveal the real roots of evolutionary development of processes like pollination syndromes, floral development, scent emission, seed survival strategies and the like. As a system to work with, Petunia combines advantages from several other model species: it is easy to grow, sets abundant seeds, while self- and cross pollination is easy; its lifecycle is four months from seed to seed; plants can be grown very densely, in 1 cm2 plugs and can be rescued easily upon flowering, which makes even huge selection plots easy to handle. Its flowers (and indeed leaves) are relatively large and thus obtaining biochemical samples is no problem. Moreover, transformation and regeneration from leaf disc or protoplast are long established and easy-to-perform procedures. On top of this easiness in culture, Petunia harbors an endogenous, very active transposable element system, which is being used to great advantage in both forward and reverse genetics screens. The virtues of Petunia as a model system have only partly been highlighted. In a first monograph, edited by K. Sink and published in 1984, the emphasis was mainly on taxonomy, morphology, classical and biochemical genetics, cytogenetics, physiology and a number of topical subjects. At that time, little molecular data was available. Taking into account that that first monograph will be offered electronically as a supplement in this upcoming edition, we would like to put the overall emphasis for the second edition on molecular developments and on comparative issues. To this end we propose the underneath set up, where chapters will be brief and topical. Each chapter will present the historical setting of its subject, the comparison with other systems (if available) and the unique progress as made in Petunia. We expect that the second edition of the Petunia monograph will draw a broad readership both in academia and industry and hope that it will contribute to a further expansion in research on this wonderful Solanaceae.

Download or read book Plant Developmental Biology - Biotechnological Perspectives written by Eng Chong Pua and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-10-29 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many exciting discoveries in recent decades have contributed new knowledge to our understanding of the mechanisms that regulate various stages of plant growth and development. Such information, coupled with advances in cell and molecular biology, is fundamental to crop improvement using biotechnological approaches. Two volumes constitute the present work. The ?rst, comprising 22 chapters, commences with introductions relating to gene regulatory models for plant dev- opment and crop improvement, particularly the use of Arabidopsis as a model plant. These chapters are followed by speci?c topics that focus on different developmental aspects associated with vegetative and reproductive phases of the life cycle of a plant. Six chapters discuss vegetative growth and development. Their contents consider topics such as shoot branching, bud dormancy and growth, the devel- ment of roots, nodules and tubers, and senescence. The reproductive phase of plant development is in 14 chapters that present topics such as ?oral organ init- tion and the regulation of ?owering, the development of male and female gametes, pollen germination and tube growth, fertilization, fruit development and ripening, seed development, dormancy, germination, and apomixis. Male sterility and self-incompatibility are also discussed.

Book Synopsis Plant Evolutionary Developmental Biology by : Alessandro Minelli
Download or read book Plant Evolutionary Developmental Biology written by Alessandro Minelli and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compared to animals, plants have been largely neglected in evolutionary developmental biology. Mainstream research has focused on developmental genetics, while a rich body of knowledge in comparative morphology is still to be exploited. No integrated account is available. In this volume, Minelli fills this gap using the same approach he gave to animals, revisiting traditional concepts and providing an articulated analysis of genetic and molecular data. Topics covered include leaf complexity and the evolution of flower organs, handedness, branching patterns, flower symmetry and synorganization, and less conventional topics such as fractal patterns of plant organization. Also discussed is the hitherto neglected topic of the evolvability of temporal phenotypes like a plant's annual, biennial or perennial life cycle, flowering time and the timing of abscission of flower organs. This will be informative reading for anyone in the field of plant evo-devo, from students to lecturers and researchers.
