| Research Abstract |
Expression of flowering promoting gene, FT homologs in Phyllostachys meyeri and Shibataea chinensis was analyzed with a real-time RT-PCR technique from the beginning of mass flowering through the following several years. The expression was disappeared soon after the flowering in P. meyeri, while sustained same higher level for several years in S. chinensis. Cloned FT homolog, PmFT was confirmed extopic expression in protoplasts of P. meyeri by an electroporation method. Developing a new vector for PmFT identification based on bamboo mosaic virus was tried.
