Abstract
The present invention provides PeMADS2, PeMADS3, PeMADS4 and PeMADS5 for controlling floral development in orchid. The present invention also provides a protein, a vector, a cell, a protocorn, and a kit for controlling the floral development in orchid. A method for producing transgenic orchid and a transgenic orchid are provided.
Claims35
An isolated nucleic acid molecule for controlling floral development in orchid, which nucleic acid molecule is selected form the group consisting of:
- (a) a nucleic acid molecule, PeMADS2, comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 and the anti-sense strand thereof;
- (b) a nucleic acid molecule, PeMADS3, comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 3 and the anti-sense strand thereof;
- (c) a nucleic acid molecule, PeMADS4, comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 5 and the anti-sense strand thereof;
- (d) a nucleic acid molecule, PeMADS5, comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 7 and the anti-sense strand thereof;
- (e) one or more nucleic acid molecules hybridizing with the complement strand of any one of the nucleic acid molecules as defined in (a), (b), (c) and (d) under stringent hybridization conditions;
- and
- (f) one or more nucleic acid molecules comprising the degeneration sequences of any one of the nucleotide sequences of SEQ ID NO:
- 1, 3, 5, and 7.
A protein for controlling floral development in orchid, which is selected from the group consisting of PeMADS2 having a sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, PeMADS3 having a sequence of SEQ ID NO:4, PeMADS4 having a sequence of SEQ ID NO:6, and PeMADS5 having a sequence of SEQ ID NO:8.
