Outline of Final Research Achievements |
CsLHY and CsGI genes were isolated and analyzed in chrysanthemum, a short-day plant. CsLHY was fused to a gene encoding short transcriptional repressor domain (SRDX) and overexpressed in chrysanthemum. CsLHY-SRDX-ox flowered under long day condition. The critical day length was shortened in CsGI-ox. The changes of circadian clock genes expression were not observed in CsLHY-SRDX-ox and CsGI-ox. CsFTL3 and CsAFT encode florigen and antiflorigen, respectively. The expression level of CsFTL3 and CsAFT were affected in CsLHY-SRDX-ox and CsGI-ox. Here I revealed the possible involvement of CsLHY and CsGI in the photoperiodic flowering though the regulation of CsFTL3 and CsAFT in chrysanthemum.
