“…Similar results have been obtained in zag3 in situ hybridization and, moreover, zag3 mutants produce extra carpels in the ear (Thompson et al, 2009). These data are consistent with many other studies that have detected expression in carpels and ovules in angiosperms (Ma et al, 1991;Mena et al, 1995;Rounsley et al, 1995;Moon et al,1999;Tsuchimoto et al, 2000;Boss et al, 2002;Pelucchi et al, 2002;Hsu et al, 2003;Losa et al, 2004;Petersen et al, 2004;Chanderbali et al, 2006;Fan et al, 2007), except in Persea and Magnolia where RT-PCR failed to detect AGL6 expression in the carpel . Curiously, yeast two-hybrid data fail to show any interaction of AGL6-like proteins with B and C class MADS box proteins in rice (Moon et al, 1999), whereas the maize AGL6 homolog, ZAG3, does interact with the AG homolog, ZAG1 (Thompson et al, 2009).…”

“…Expression in microsporangia was detected in gymnosperms as well as in several angiosperms but not in all (Ma et al, 1991;Mena et al, 1995;Rounsley et al, 1995;Tandre et al, 1995;Liu and Podila, 1997;Mouradov et al, 1998;Moon et al,1999;Winter et al, 1999;Tsuchimoto et al, 2000;Boss et al, 2002;Pelucchi et al, 2002;Hsu et al, 2003;Losa et al, 2004;Petersen et al, 2004;Chanderbali et al, 2006;Fan et al, 2007). Our in situ hybridizations showed that AGL6-like genes are expressed in stamens only in J. ascendens, the grass S. angustifolia in Anomochlooideae, and in Ehrhartoideae.…”

“…In non-Poales monocots and in eudicots, mRNA of AGL6 orthologs is also detected in floral meristems prior to floral organ formation (Boss et al, 2002;Hsu et al, 2003;Losa et al, 2004;Fan et al, 2007). All these results together indicate that expression of AGL6 in floral meristems has been conserved at least since the origin of the angiosperms.…”

“…AGL6-like genes are expressed exclusively in the second whorl in species that have flowers with novel structures such as the cap in Vitis vinifera (Boss et al, 2002) or the lip in Oncidium (Hsu et al, 2003); otherwise, AGL6 expression was detected in both whorl 1 and whorl 2 (Ma et al, 1991;Tsuchimoto et al, 2000;Losa et al, 2004;Kim et al, 2005;Chanderbali et al, 2006;Fan et al, 2007). In grasses, previous studies suggest that AGL6 orthologs are expressed in lodicules as well as in the palea (Mena et al, 1995;Moon et al, 1999;Aiguo and Griffin, 2002;Petersen et al, 2004;Thompson et al, 2009).…”

AGAMOUS-like6 (AGL6) genes encode MIKC-type MADS box transcription factors and are closely related to SEPALLATA and AP1/FUL-like genes. Here, we focus on the molecular evolution and expression of the AGL6-like genes in grasses. We have found that AGL6-like genes are expressed in ovules, lodicules (second whorl floral organs), paleas (putative first whorl floral organs), and floral meristems. Each of these expression domains was acquired at a different time in evolution, indicating that each represents a distinct function of the gene product and that the AGL6-like genes are pleiotropic. Expression in the inner integument of the ovule appears to be an ancient expression pattern corresponding to the expression of the gene in the megasporangium and integument in gymnosperms. Expression in floral meristems appears to have been acquired in the angiosperms and expression in second whorl organs in monocots. Early in grass evolution, AGL6-like orthologs acquired a new expression domain in the palea. Stamen expression is variable. Most grasses have a single AGL6-like gene (orthologous to the rice [Oryza sativa] gene MADS6). However, rice and other species of Oryza have a second copy (orthologous to rice MADS17) that appears to be the result of an ancient duplication.

“…Similar MADS box ripening genes have been described in other fruits (Rigola et al, 1998;Yao et al, 1999;Sung et al, 2001;Boss et al, 2002), including strawberry (Fragaria spp. ), a nonclimacteric fruit that ripens in the absence of elevated respiration or ethylene (Seymour et al, 2011).…”

Banana MaMADS Transcription Factors Are Necessary for Fruit Ripening and Molecular Tools to Promote Shelf-Life and Food Security

et al. 2016

Genetic solutions to postharvest crop loss can reduce cost and energy inputs while increasing food security, especially for banana (Musa acuminata), which is a significant component of worldwide food commerce. We have functionally characterized two banana E class (SEPALLATA3 [SEP3]) MADS box genes, MaMADS1 and MaMADS2, homologous to the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) RIN-MADS ripening gene. Transgenic banana plants repressing either gene (via antisense or RNA interference [RNAi]) were created and exhibited specific ripening delay and extended shelf-life phenotypes, including delayed color development and softening. The delay in fruit ripening is associated with a delay in climacteric respiration and reduced synthesis of the ripening hormone ethylene; in the most severe repressed lines, no ethylene was produced and ripening was most delayed. Unlike tomato rin mutants, banana fruits of all transgenic repression lines responded to exogenous ethylene by ripening normally, likely due to incomplete transgene repression and/or compensation by other MADS box genes. Our results show that, although MADS box ripening gene necessity is conserved across diverse taxa (monocots to dicots), unlike tomato, banana ripening requires at least two necessary members of the SEPALLATA MADS box gene group, and either can serve as a target for ripening control. The utility of such genes as tools for ripening control is especially relevant in important parthenocarpic crops such as the vegetatively propagated and widely consumed Cavendish banana, where breeding options for trait improvement are severely limited.
