| 摘要: |
Production of normal gametes is necessary for flowering plant reproduction, which involves the transition from vegetative to reproductive stage and floral organ development. Such transitions and floral development are modulated by various environmental and endogenous stimuli and controlled by sophisticated regulatory networks. FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) and LEAFY (LFY) are two key genes that integrate signals from multiple genetic pathways in Arabidopsis. However, the comprehensive functions and relationship between these two genes in trees are poorly understood. In this study, we found that JcFT played a vital role in regulating the flowering transition in the perennial woody species Jatropha curcas. JcLFY also involved in regulating this transition and controlled floral organ development. The non–flowering phenotype of JcFT-RNAi was rescued successfully by overexpression of JcLFY, while the abnormal flowers produced by JcLFY silencing were not recovered by JcFT overexpression via hybridization. These results indicate that JcFT, in which a mutation leads to a nonflowering phenotype, is the central gene of the floral meristem transition and that JcLFY, in which a mutation leads to striking changes in flowering and often sterility, is the central floral and inflorescence development gene. Moreover, our hybridization results suggest that JcLFY acts downstream of JcFT in Jatropha. | ||||||||
