Abstract:
... Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors (TF) comprise a large group of proteins that are involved in many developmental and physiological processes in plants. In this study, a bHLH gene (PkbHLH2), along with its promoter, was cloned from Populus koreana Rehd. A PkbHLH2 promoter::GUS gene fusion construct was generated to investigate the expression of PkbHLH2. The results demonstrated t ...

Here, we report the cloning of two full-length B-class genes, namely NAP3L3 and NAP3L4, that are orthologs of the DEFICIENS lineage. Both genes are highly expressed in the second whorl of the perianth and in the stamens. NAP3L4 is also expressed strongly ...

Abstract:
... Gene duplication and alternative splicing (AS) are two evolutionary mechanisms that can increase functional diversification of genes. Here, we found that a previously uncharacterized ZmMPK4 (ZmMPK3-1b in this research) is a splicing variant. ZmMPK3-1 can undergo AS by retaining the third intron (90 nucleotides) to generate an atypical mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) gene: ZmMPK3-1b. Furthe ...
