The indeterminate gene encodes a zinc finger protein and regulates a leaf-generated signal required for the transition to flowering in maize.
-
Cloning of id1 shows it encodes a zinc finger protein that acts non-cell-autonomously from the leaf to regulate a transmissible floral signal.
"id1 acts non-cell-autonomously to regulate the production of a transmissible signal in the leaf"
The maize ID1 flowering time regulator is a zinc finger protein with novel DNA binding properties.
-
ID1 binds an 11 bp consensus motif via the ID domain; zinc fingers Z2 and Z3 are required, Z1 and Z4 are not.
"ID1 binds selectively to an 11 bp consensus motif via the ID domain"
The maize INDETERMINATE1 flowering time regulator defines a highly conserved zinc finger protein family in higher plants.
-
ID1 founds the IDD family; grass orthologs from rice and sorghum group with ID1 apart from other IDD genes, and no clear Arabidopsis ortholog exists.
"Although no clear ID1 ortholog was identified in the Arabidopsis genome"
Maize floral regulator protein INDETERMINATE1 is localized to developing leaves and is not altered by light or the sink/source transition.
-
ID1 protein is nuclear, confined to immature leaves, and its level is not altered by light, photoperiod or circadian cues.
"ID1 protein is detected in the nuclei of all cell types in immature leaves"
Expression differences between normal and indeterminate1 maize suggest downstream targets of ID1, a floral transition regulator in maize.
-
Microarray comparison of WT and id1 immature leaves finds 55 differentially expressed genes, including Zmdhr1-3.
"This analysis revealed 55 genes with a significant 2-fold difference in expression"
Rice Indeterminate 1 (OsId1) is necessary for the expression of Ehd1 (Early heading date 1) regardless of photoperiod.
ZCN8 encodes a potential orthologue of Arabidopsis FT florigen that integrates both endogenous and photoperiod flowering signals in maize.
Transcript and metabolite signature of maize source leaves suggests a link between transitory starch to sucrose balance and the autonomous floral transition.
Florigen-Encoding Genes of Day-Neutral and Photoperiod-Sensitive Maize Are Regulated by Different Chromatin Modifications at the Floral Transition.
