Overexpression of PvSVP1, an SVP-like gene of bamboo, causes early flowering and abnormal floral organs in Arabidopsis and rice.

ABSTRACT: Bamboo is a nontimber woody plant featuring a long vegetative stage and uncertain flowering time. Therefore, the genes belonging to flowering repressors might be essential in regulating the transition from the vegetative to reproductive stage in bamboo. The Short Vegetative Phase ( SVP) gene plays a pivotal role in floral transition and development. However, little is known about the bamboo SVP homologues. In this study, Phyllostachys violascens PvSVP1 is isolated by analysis of the P. edulis transcriptome database. Phylogenetic analysis shows that PvSVP1 is closely related to OsMADS55 (rice SVP homolog). PvSVP1 is ubiquitously expressed in various tissues, predominantly in vegetative tissues. To investigate the f
