B3 domain was identified as a novel DNA-binding motif specific to higher plant species. The B3 proteins play important roles in plant development. In the mutant W378, the mutant gene coding OsLFL1, a putative B3 transcription factor gene, was ectopically expressed. In this study, it was found that the flowering promoting gene Ehd1 and its putative downstream genes were all repressed by OsLFL1. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analyses suggest that OsLFL1 binds to the RY cis-elements (CATGCATG) in the promoter of the Ehd1 gene. Thus, ectopically expressed OsLFL1 might repress Ehd1 via binding directly to the RY cis-elements in its promoter.

Phostensin (PTS) encoded by KIAA1949 binds to protein phosphatase 1, F-actin, Eps 15 homology domain-containing protein 1 (EHD1) and EHD4. Most EHD-binding proteins contain a consensus motif, Asn-Pro-Phe (NPF), which interacts with the C-terminal EH domain of EHD proteins. Nevertheless, the NPF motif is absent in PTS.

Membrane trafficking is a conserved process required for import, export, movement, and distribution of proteins and other macromolecules within cells. The Caenorhabditis elegans NIMA-related kinases NEKL-2 (human NEK8/9) and NEKL-3 (human NEK6/7) are conserved regulators of membrane trafficking and are required for the completion of molting. Using a genetic approach we identified reduction-of-function mutations in tat-1 that suppress nekl-associated molting defects.

Background: The female parental line Jinbuol (JBO, early heading) and two recombinant isogenic lines, JSRIL1 and JSRIL2, have been shown to flower 44, 34 and 16 days earlier, respectively, than the male parental line Samgwang (SG, late heading) in paddy fields.
Objective: To explore how photoperiodicity-related genes are involved in differential heading among these lines.
Methods: Deep sequencing was conducted for these lines, photoperiodicity-related genes (71) were categorized, and qRT-PCR was performed for some key genes.

Woody bamboo is a perennial flowering plant with a unique characteristic. Most woody bamboo species have no apparent signs before flowering, and large areas typically die after flowering, thus resulting in significant economic losses. However, most bamboo flowering gene functions and molecular mechanisms are still unclear.
