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

PLoS 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 ...

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

Biotechnology & 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 ...

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

BMC 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.

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

Frontiers 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.

RNAi of AGAMOUS genes in sweetgum alters reproductive organ identity and decreases fruit persistence

Plant Direct, 2020
Sweetgums (Liquidambar), members of the family Altingiaceae (Altingiales), have inflorescences and floral organs that are distinctive in structure compared with other angiosperms in which the roles of floral homeotic genes have been studied.

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

PLoS 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

BioTechniques, 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.

The ins and outs of the rice AGAMOUS subfamily

, 2013
Genes of the AGAMOUS subfamily have been shown to play crucial roles in reproductive organ identity determination, fruit, and seed development. They have been deeply studied in eudicot species and especially in Arabidopsis.

Fine-tuning of auxin homeostasis governs the transition from floral stem cell maintenance to gynoecium formation

Nature Communications, 2017
In Arabidopsis, the timing of floral meristem termination is determined by AGAMOUS. Here, the authors show that the CRC transcription factor, itself a direct target of AGAMOUS, coordinates meristem termination with subsequent gynoecium formation partly ...

Separable whorl-specific expression and negative regulation by enhancer elements within the AGAMOUS second intron [PDF]

, 2000
We analyzed the 4-kb intragenic control region of the AGAMOUS (AG) gene to gain insight into the mechanisms controlling its expression during early flower development.
