“…1). Sequence comparison with several MADS-box proteins from monocots and dicots revealed that TaVRT-2 is homologous to MADS-box proteins from the StMADS11-like clade (Carmona et al, 1998;Becker and Theissen, 2003). TaVRT-2 shows 96% amino acid sequence identity with its reconstructed ortholog from barley (Hordeum vulgare; named HvVRT-2), 77% with two proteins from maize (Zea mays; ZmM19 and ZmM26), 73% with a protein from rice (OsMADS22), and 51% with the SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE protein from Arabidopsis (AtSVP), the closest predicted homolog from dicot species (Supplemental Table II).…”

TaVRT-2, a Member of the StMADS-11 Clade of Flowering Repressors, Is Regulated by Vernalization and Photoperiod in Wheat

The initiation of the reproductive phase in winter cereals is delayed during winter until favorable growth conditions resume in the spring. This delay is modulated by low temperature through the process of vernalization. The molecular and genetic bases of the interaction between environmental factors and the floral transition in these species are still unknown. However, the recent identification of the wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) TaVRT-1 gene provides an opportunity to decipher the molecular basis of the flowering-time regulation in cereals. Here, we describe the characterization of another gene, named TaVRT-2, possibly involved in the flowering pathway in wheat. Molecular and phylogenetic analyses indicate that the gene encodes a member of the MADS-box transcription factor family that belongs to a clade responsible for flowering repression in several species. Expression profiling of TaVRT-2 in near-isogenic lines and different genotypes with natural variation in their response to vernalization and photoperiod showed a strong relationship with floral transition. Its expression is up-regulated in the winter genotypes during the vegetative phase and in photoperiod-sensitive genotypes during short days, and is repressed by vernalization to a level that allows the transition to the reproductive phase. Protein-protein interaction studies revealed that TaVRT-2 interacts with proteins encoded by two important vernalization genes (TaVRT-1/VRN-1 and VRN-2) in wheat. These results support the hypothesis that TaVRT-2 is a putative repressor of the floral transition in wheat.

“…In turn, AGL20/SOC1 is regulated by both AGL22/SVP and AGL24 (refs 18, 19), which are floral meristem identity genes with redundant functions during early stages of flower development 21 . The StMADS11 gene does not appear to have a direct orthologue in A. thaliana, but in potato (S. tuberosum) StMADS11 is expressed in vegetative tissues 106 . Despite their well-known roles in floral regulation, SVP/StMADS11 and SOC1/TM3 proteins are likely to have wider functions.…”

Ash trees (genus. Here we sequence the genome of a low-heterozygosity Fraxinus excelsior tree from Gloucestershire, UK, annotating 38,852 protein-coding genes of which 25% appear ash specific when compared with the genomes of ten other plant species. Analyses of paralogous genes suggest a whole-genome duplication shared with olive (Olea europaea, Oleaceae). We also re-sequence 37 F. excelsior trees from Europe, finding evidence for apparent long-term decline in effective population size. Using our reference sequence, we reanalyse association transcriptomic data 3 , yielding improved markers for reduced susceptibility to ash dieback. Surveys of these markers in British populations suggest that reduced susceptibility to ash dieback may be more widespread in Great Britain than in Denmark. We also present evidence that susceptibility of trees to H. fraxineus is associated with their iridoid glycoside levels. This rapid, integrated, multidisciplinary research response to an emerging health threat in a non-model organism opens the way for mitigation of the epidemic.

“…One subgroup, formed by the MIKC c -type genes, is best known for its important role in the control of flower development (reviewed in 12). Some MIKC c -type MADSbox genes, however, have functions outside of flower development and are mainly expressed in vegetative organs, for example, the STMADS11-like genes (13)(14)(15). MADS-box gene functions are frequently conserved between plant species and confer comparable organ identities in different species (16).…”

Molecular genetic basis of pod corn ( Tunicate maize)

Pod corn is a classic morphological mutant of maize in which the mature kernels of the cob are covered by glumes, in contrast to generally grown maize varieties in which kernels are naked. Pod corn, known since pre-Columbian times, is the result of a dominant gain-of-function mutation at the Tunicate ( Tu ) locus. Some classic articles of 20th century maize genetics reported that the mutant Tu locus is complex, but molecular details remained elusive. Here, we show that pod corn is caused by a cis -regulatory mutation and duplication of the ZMM19 MADS-box gene. Although the WT locus contains a single-copy gene that is expressed in vegetative organs only, mutation and duplication of ZMM19 in Tu lead to ectopic expression of the gene in the inflorescences, thus conferring vegetative traits to reproductive organs.
