OsMADS1 controls rice (Oryza sativa) floral fate and organ development. Yet, its genome-wide targets the mechanisms underlying role as a transcription regulator controlling developmental gene expression are unknown. We identify 3112 gene-associated OsMADS1-bound sites in floret genome. These occur vicinity of start sites, within bodies, intergenic regions. Majority bound DNA contained CArG motif variants or, several cases, only A-tracts. Sequences flanking binding peak had higher AT...
Axillary meristems (AMs) are secondary shoot whose outgrowth determines plant architecture.In rice, AMs form tillers, and tillering mutants reveal an interplay between transcription factors the phytohormones auxin strigolactone as some that underpin this developmental process.Previous studies showed knockdown of factor gene RFL reduced caused a very large decrease in panicle branching.Here, relationship RFL, AM initiation, was examined.We show promotes specification through its effects on...
