Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: CpTM6-2
  • Gene Name: B-class MADS-box protein TM6-2
  • Genome:
  • Species: Carica papaya

Functional Descriptions:

  • While phylogenetic analyses show that CpPI is the ortholog of the Arabidopsis gene PI, the CpTM6-1 and CpTM6-2 loci are representatives of the paralogous TM6 lineage that contain paleoAP3 motifs unlike the euAP3 gene observed in Arabidopsis.
  • CpTM6-1 expressed at low levels in sepals and carpels, whereas CpTM6-2 expressed at a low level in sepals and at a high level in leaves.
  • CpTM6-1 expression was detectable in sepal and carpels of hermaphrodite flowers and carpels of female flowers. CpTM6-2 transcripts were also abundant in petals and stamens of hermaphrodite flowers, petals of female flower, and petals and stamens of male flowers.
  • Our results showed that B-class gene homologs could function as predicted by the ABC model in trioecous flowers but differential expressions of CpTM6-1, and CpTM6-2, and CpPI suggested the diversification of their functions after the duplication events.
