SiRNA profiling of Arabidopis leaf from antisense SPH1 plants vs wild type

ABSTRACT: Arabidopsis genome sequencing has revealed the presence of at least three extensive gene families that may encode protein ligands. One of these, the SPH (S-protein homologue) family, was identified as a direct result of our studies on self-incompatibility in Papaver. The Arabidopsis SPH gene family consists of 81 members. We have initiated experimental work on a subset of these. RT-PCR studies indicate that many, if not all, SPH genes are expressed. Each SPH gene encodes an N-terminal signal peptide sequence and thus SPH proteins are likely to be secreted. Until recently none of the genes in this family had known function. However we have evidence that one member of the family, SPH1 is involved in leaf vascular development. In order to determine the function of SPH1, Arabidopsis plants wer
