Nucleotide sequences of novel potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) MADS-box cDNAs and their expression in vegetative organs.
Two similar, apparently full-length potato cDNAs, POTM1-1 and POTM1-2, from an early tuber cDNA library have been identified and sequenced. These two cDNAs encode 250 identical amino acids (aa) including 56 aa of the MADS-box domain and 53 aa of the K-box domain, indicating that they may function as transcription factors. The transcripts of these cDNAs accumulate abundantly in vegetative organs, suggesting that these novel MADS genes may be involved in vegetative organ development of potato.
