TEOSINTE-BRANCHED/CYCLOIDEA/PCF (TCP) proteins are plant-specific transcription factors known to have a role in multiple aspects of plant growth and development at the cellular, organ and tissue levels. However, there has been no related study of TCPs in orchids. Here we identified 23 TCP genes from
In October 2006 (Arcadia, FL) and January 2007 (Sorrento, FL), several white Phalaenopsis orchids with large chlorotic/necrotic ringspot symptoms were sent to the Division of Plant Industry, Gainesville, FL. Symptomatic leaf tissues were tested with the Agdia immunostick-comb (Agdia, Elkhart, IN)
The SQUA family (AP1/FUL family) of MADS-box genes plays an important role in the transition from the vegetative to the reproductive development of angiosperms, and its origin might be concurrent with fixation of floral structure in angiosperms. Here, we isolated two Phalaenopsis MADS-box genes
The highly evolved flowers of orchids have colorful sepals and fused columns that offer an opportunity to discover new genes involved in floral development in monocotyledon species. In this investigation, we cloned and characterized the homologous PISTALLATA-like (PI-like) gene PhPI15 (Phalaenopsis
Screening cDNA libraries for genes encoding proteins that interact with a bait protein is usually performed in yeast. However, subcellular compartmentation and protein modification may differ in yeast and plant cells, resulting in misidentification of protein partners. We used bimolecular
We present a new set of universal de novo sequencing primers targeting noncoding chloroplast DNA. The set of 107 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers span approximately 86% of the noncoding nucleotides in the large single copy region of Nicotiana tabacum, Oryza sativa and the orchid Phalaenopsis
