Gene Details:

• Gene ID: CL4474.Contig1
• Gene Symbol: CmLEC1
• Gene Name: LEAFY COTYLEDON1
• Genome: Chrysanthemum morifolium genome
• Species: Chrysanthemum morifolium

Functional Descriptions:

• The transcription factor CmLEC1 positively regulates the seed-setting rate in hybridization breeding of chrysanthemum.
• Here we investigated the function and regulation mechanism of CmLEC1 from Chrysanthemum morifolium during its seed development in chrysanthemum hybridization.
• CmLEC1 encodes a nucleic protein and is specifically expressed in embryos. CmLEC1’s overexpression significantly promoted the seed-setting rate of the cross, while the rate was significantly decreased in the amiR-CmLEC1 transgenic chrysanthemum.
• CmLEC1 was able to induce several other key genes related to embryo development. Taken together, our results show that CmLEC1 plays a positive role in the hybrid embryo development of chrysanthemum plants, which might involve activating CmLEA’s expression and interacting with CmC3H.
