agamous การใช้

• Agamous is a C class gene, a transcription factor responsible for activating genes involved in stamen and carpel development.
• Other mutant plants in which the agamous gene is turned on not only in the center of the flower but everywhere become a display of sexual organs entirely unadorned by petals.
• The mutated gene likely responsible for the phenotype, AGAMOUS, was cloned and characterized in 1990 in Elliot Meyerowitz's lab as part of his study of molecular mechanisms of pattern formation in flowers.
• In " Arabidopsis ", which has been used as a model for understanding flower development, the double-flower gene AGAMOUS encodes a protein responsible for tissue specification of stamen and carpel flower segments.
• This C gene, also known as the agamous gene, is so called because plants that carry nonfunctional agamous genes lack sexual organs ( " a " meaning " without " and " gamous " meaning " reproductive organs " ).
• This C gene, also known as the agamous gene, is so called because plants that carry nonfunctional agamous genes lack sexual organs ( " a " meaning " without " and " gamous " meaning " reproductive organs " ).
• The transition from shoot meristem to floral meristem requires floral meristem identity genes, that both specify the floral organs and cause the termination of the production of stem cells . " AGAMOUS " ( " AG " ) is a floral homeotic gene required for floral meristem termination and necessary for proper development of the stamens and carpels.
• The MEF2 genes are members of the MADS gene family ( named for the yeast mating type-specific transcription factor MCM1, the plant homeotic genes'agamous'and'deficiens'and the human serum response factor SRF ( MIM 600589 ) ), a family that also includes several homeotic genes and other transcription factors, all of which share a conserved DNA-binding domain .
