Identification and validation of superior reference gene for gene expression normalization via RT-qPCR in staminate and pistillate flowers of Jatropha curcas - A biodiesel plant. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Physic nut (Jatropha curcas L) seed oil is a natural resource for the alternative production of fossil fuel. Seed oil production is mainly depended on seed yield, which was restricted by the low ratio of staminate flowers to pistillate flowers.

Small RNA sequencing provides candidate miRNA-target pairs for revealing the mechanism of apomixis in Zanthoxylum bungeanum

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2021
Background Apomixis is a form of asexual reproduction that produces offspring without the need for combining male and female gametes, and the offspring have the same genetic makeup as the mother.

NEW INSIGHTS ON THE AGAMOUS SUBFAMILY GENES IN ORYZA SATIVA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
More than 30 years of plant biology have assessed the tight relationship existing between MADS-box genes and plant development and reproduction. Transcription factors of the MADS-box family have been associated with crucial processes throughout the whole

A single amino acid residue substitution in BraA04g017190.3C, a histone methyltransferase, results in premature bolting in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. Pekinensis)

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2021
Background Flowering is an important inflection point in the transformation from vegetative to reproductive growth, and premature bolting severely decreases crop yield and quality.

Redundant enhancers mediate transcriptional repression of AGAMOUS by APETALA2

open access: yes, 1999
The floral homeotic gene AGAMOUS specifies stamen and carpel fate in the central whorls of Arabidopsis flowers. Transcription of AGAMOUS RNA is restricted to the center of developing flowers by several, partially redundant negative regulators, one of ...

Transgenic Suppression of AGAMOUS Genes in Apple Reduces Fertility and Increases Floral Attractiveness. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
We investigated the ability of RNA interference (RNAi) directed against two co-orthologs of AGAMOUS (AG) from Malus domestica (domestic apple, MdAG) to reduce the risks of invasiveness and provide genetic containment of transgenes, while also promoting ...

Expression and Functional Analyses of Nymphaea caerulea MADS-Box Genes Contribute to Clarify the Complex Flower Patterning of Water Lilies

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Nymphaeaceae are early diverging angiosperms with large flowers characterized by showy petals and stamens not clearly whorled but presenting a gradual morphological transition from the outer elements to the inner stamens.

Genetic control of flower petal number in Rosa x Damascena Mill f. trigintipetala

open access: yesBiotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2019
We studied the petal number trait in a population obtained after self-pollination of R. x damascena f. trigintipetala following analysis of molecular markers which have previously been mapped near the major dominant locus Blfo/d6 determining this trait ...

AGAMOUS controls GIANT KILLER, a multifunctional chromatin modifier in reproductive organ patterning and differentiation. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2009
The Arabidopsis homeotic protein AGAMOUS (AG), a MADS domain transcription factor, specifies reproductive organ identity during flower development. Using a binding assay and expression analysis, we identified a direct target of AG, GIANT KILLER (GIK ...

Selection and validation of reference genes for quantitative real-time PCR in Cymbidium sinense

open access: yesBioTechniques, 2022
Selection of reference genes (RGs) is important for the accurate analysis of real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) results. This study screened RGs of Cymbidium sinense for more accurate quantification of target genes.
