Fruit set is an essential process to ensure successful sexual plant reproduction. The development of the flower into a fruit actively repressed in absence pollination. However, some cultivars from few species are able develop seedless fruits overcoming standard restriction unpollinated ovaries growth. We report here identification tomato hydra mutant that produces (parthenocarpic) fruits. Seedless production plants linked both male and female sporocyte development. HYDRA gene therefore for...
The B-class of MADS box genes has been studied in a wide range plant species, but remained largely uncharacterized legumes. Here we investigate the evolutionary fate duplicated AP3-like legume species. To obtain insight into extent to which gene functions are conserved or have diversified legumes, isolated and characterized two members AP3 lineage Medicago truncatula: MtNMH7 MtTM6 (euAP3 paleoAP3 genes, respectively). A non-overlapping complementary expression pattern both was observed...
PISTILLATA (PI) is a member of the B-function MADS-box gene family, which controls identity both petals and stamens in Arabidopsis thaliana. In Medicago truncatula (Mt), there are two PI-like paralogs, known as MtPI MtNGL9. These genes differ their expression patterns, but it not whether functions have also diverged. Describing evolution certain duplicated genes, such transcription factors, remains challenge owing to complex patterns functional divergence between copies. Here, we report...
Proanthocyanidins (PAs), or condensed tannins, are powerful antioxidants that remove harmful free oxygen radicals from cells. To engineer the anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin biosynthetic pathways to de novo produce PAs in two Nicotiana species, we incorporated four transgenes plant chassis. We opted perform a simultaneous transformation of genes linked multigenic construct rather than classical breeding retransformation approaches. generated GoldenBraid 2.0 containing Antirrhinum majus...
