MADS-box gene

MADS-box genes encode transcription factors that are known to be involved in several aspects of plant growth and development, especially in floral organ specification. To date, the comprehensive analysis of potato MADSbox gene family is still lacking after the completion of potato genome sequencing. A genome-wide characterization, classification, and expression analysis of MADS-box transcription factor gene family was performed in this study.

Alfalfa, the “queen of forage”, is the most extensively cultivated forage legume in the world. The development and yield of alfalfa are seriously limited by abiotic stress. MADS-box transcription factors are one of the largest gene families and play a pivotal role in plant development and abiotic stress. However, little is known regarding the MADS-box transcription factors in autotetraploid cultivated alfalfa.

The MADS-box genes play diverse roles in plant development. Here a MADS-box transcription factor gene, designated as FLORAL BINDING PROTEIN 20 (FBP20), was isolated, cloned and characterized from Petunia axillaris. The open reading frame of FBP20 comprised of 651bp nucleotides encoding a polypeptide of 216 amino acids. Based on sequence analysis, FPB20 is suggested to have a role in promoting flowering. Phylogenetic analysis showed that FBP20 belonged to the SOC1/TM3 clade of MADSbox proteins.
