Other claims from this paper (11)
- Association MPF2 heterotopic expression is associated with inflated calyx syndrome in Physalis floridana.
- Observation The MPF2 promoter differs significantly from the STMADS16 promoter in Solanum tuberosum.
- Observation MPF2 expression alone was insufficient for inflated calyx formation in Physalis floridana.
- Mechanism Fertilization was important for inflated calyx formation in Physalis floridana.
- Mechanism Cytokinin and gibberellin were essential for inflated calyx formation in Physalis floridana.
- Observation Cells resulting from MPF2 controlled division were small.
- Mechanism Gibberellin and cytokinin promoted elongation, cell division and substantial calyx enlargement.
- Intervention effect Cytokinin facilitated nuclear transport of MPF2 or STMADS16 fusion proteins.
- Intervention effect Ectopic STMADS16 expression with cytokinin and gibberellin induced an ICS like structure in transgenic Solanum tuberosum.
- Intervention effect In transgenic Arabidopsis, solanaceous MPF2 like proteins enhanced sepal growth with cytokinin.
- Observation Non solanaceous orthologous proteins did not require cytokinin for sepal growth in transgenic Arabidopsis.
