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

From shoot tips of Chinese cabbage at early folding stage, we constructed a cDNA library and screened the differentially expressed cDNA clones using the cDNAs derived from developing folding leaves and rosette leaves as probes. One complete length of cDNA clone is designated as BcpLH. Computer alignment matched BcpLH to the domains of double-stranded RNA binding (DBRM) and the homologous regions were recognized between BcpLH and human and mouse double-stranded RNA-binding protein TRBP. PCR expression analysis shows that during vegetative growth BcpLH gene was expressed preferentially in folding leaves at folding stage. Transcripts of BcpLH gene were increased when plants were sprayed with IAA. It is deduced that BcpLH gene may be related to initiation of folding leaf and leafy head and induced by auxin in the aspect of transcriptional expression.展开更多
