Partial Conservation of LFY Function between Rice and Arabidopsis

Abstract: The LFY/FLO genes encode plant-specific transcription factors and play major roles in the reproductive transition as well as floral development. In this study, we reconstructed the phylogenetic tree of the 49 LFY/FLO homologs from various plant species. The tree clearly shows that the LFY/FLO genes from the eudicots and monocots formed the two monophyletic clusters with very high bootstrap probabilities, respectively. Furthermore, grass LFY/FLO genes have experienced significant acceleration of amino acid repl… Show more

“…and which we find is true on review of the literature. Though OsRFL functions in a manner partially similar to AtLFY (Chujo et al 2003) and the ZmZFL genes, it has unique expression patterns and regulates an additional set of interacting genes (Rao et al 2008). The PpLFY genes cannot be compared in this manner because mosses do not have inflorescences like those found in angiosperms, suggesting that the Physcomitrella genes may play a different role in moss plant development.…”

“…In monocot species, FLO/LFY orthologs have been reported in maize (Bomblies et al, 2003), rice (Kyozuka et al, 1998;Chujo et al, 2003;Prasad et al, 2003) and Lolium temulentum (Gocal et al, 2001). ZFL1 and ZFL2 in maize are expressed at high levels in spikelet-pair meristems and spikelets of both female ear and male tassel, and the expression signals persist in floral organs during floral organ developing stage.…”

“…For example, the constitutive overexpression of a SOC1 homologous gene from rice, OsMADS50/OsSOC1, in the Arabidopsis soc1 mutant, resulted in a flowering time similar to that of the wild-type (Tadege et al, 2003). A rice LFY homologous gene, RFL, was also determined to be able to partially rescue the Arabidopsis lfy mutant (Chujo et al, 2003).…”
