Abstract
Dispersal and maturation of seed is a complex event in flowering plants. The genes shatterproof1 (shp1) and shatterproof2 (shp2) are essential for fruit dehiscence in Arabidopsis. In this study, we have analyzed the diversity in these two genes and their molecular implications in some members of Oleraceae. We have studied the gene organization of these two genes and various biochemical and biophysical parameters of the proteins encoded by these two genes. Though there are some similarities, there also exist some notable differences. These differences could be exploited for creating a library of synthetic alleles (neutral or advantageous) to be used for genetic engineering, thus ensuring a wide genetic base. This diversity analysis may be significant to create diversity in the transgenic plants for shattering resistance using genetic engineered methods. This analysis explores the possible correlation of results of this study with the phenotypic data to derive functional significance of the diversity in SHP genes.
期刊介绍:
Plant OMICS is an international, peer-reviewed publication that gathers and disseminates fundamental and applied knowledge in almost all area of molecular plant and animal biology, particularly OMICS-es including:
Coverage extends to the most corners of plant and animal biology, including molecular biology, genetics, functional and non-functional molecular breeding and physiology, developmental biology, and new technologies such as vaccines. This journal also covers the combination of many areas of molecular plant and animal biology. Plant Omics is also exteremely interested in molecular aspects of stress biology in plants and animals, including molecular physiology.
