Dynamical Modeling of the Core Gene Network Controlling Transition to Flowering in Pisum sativum.

ABSTRACT: Transition to flowering is an important stage of plant development. Many regulatory modules that control floral transition are conservative across plants. This process is best studied for the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. The homologues of Arabidopsis genes responsible for the flowering initiation in legumes have been identified, and available data on their expression provide a good basis for gene network modeling. In this study, we developed several dynamical models of a gene network controlling transition to flowering in pea (Pisum sativum) using two different approaches. We used differential equations for modeling a previously proposed gene regulation scheme of floral initiation in pea and tested possible alternative hypothesis about some regulations. As the sec
