Ginkgo biloba is a kind of gymnosperm,and a dioecious tree species.The nucleotide DNA sequence was cloned from the genomic DNA of the tender leaves collected from a male tree in Ginkgo biloba L.cv.Dafushou.The analysis of DNA sequence structure indicated that the gene was composed of 3450 bp,and inferred the sequence to LEAFY gene of the male Ginkgo .Comparing the gene with LEAFY gene of the female Ginkgo reported in the relative references,the rate of homology was 99%,only lacking 3 nucleotides.The research work laid a sound foundation for studing the regulation and controlling flowering mechanism in Ginkgo biloba L.at the molecuar level in the future.展开更多
LEAFY(简称LFY)同源基因是一个调控植物花分生组织和花器官形成的特征基因,它是启动开花的枢纽,而且还可防止花分生组织的逆转。本文分别利用软件Vector NTI software(I nvitrog en)和MEGA5.1对36种植物LFY基因编码的氨基酸序列特征、...LEAFY(简称LFY)同源基因是一个调控植物花分生组织和花器官形成的特征基因,它是启动开花的枢纽,而且还可防止花分生组织的逆转。本文分别利用软件Vector NTI software(I nvitrog en)和MEGA5.1对36种植物LFY基因编码的氨基酸序列特征、系统进化等进行分析,结果表明,其蛋白质平均含有397个氨基酸,分子量为44.35 kDa,等电点为7.32;多序列比对显示它们有37个完全保守的氨基酸残基,另外还存在丙氨酸、赖氨酸、组氨酸等氨基酸富集区;系统进化显示裸子植物与单子叶植物聚为一类,后与双子叶植物聚在同一进化树中。上述研究不仅对植物成花机理的研究具有重要的参考价值,而且为植物花发育以及早花早果奠定了理论基础。展开更多
