| Title: Conservation and divergence of FCA function between Arabidopsis and rice .
| | Author: Lee JH Cho YS Yoon HS Suh MC Moon J Lee I Weigel D Yun CH Kim JK .
| | Journal: Plant Mol . Biol . Citation: V : 58 ( 6 ) P : 823-38 Year: 2005 Type: ARTICLE | | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub16240176 Accession (PMID): 16240176 | | Abstract: Although several genes have been identified in rice which are functionally equivalent to the flowering time genes in Arabidopsis , primarily genes involved in the photoperiod pathway , little data is available regarding the genes that function in the autonomous pathway in rice .
In order to acquire further insight into the control of heading dates in rice , we isolated and conducted an expression analysis on OsFCA , which exhibited 38% sequence homology with Arabidopsis FCA .
The N-terminal region of the OsFCA protein appears to be unusually rich in glycine-residues , unlike the N-terminal region found in FCA .
However , the genetic structure of OsFCA is , in general , similar to that of FCA .
RT-PCR and in silico analyses also showed that alternative splicing and polyadenylation at intron3 were conserved in the genetic expression of OsFCA .
We were able to detect alpha , beta , and gamma transcripts , but not the delta transcript , of the OsFCA gene .
The beta and gamma transcripts of the OsFCA gene were detected via Northern analysis in the leaves , roots , and flowers of the plant .
Flowers in younger stages exhibited higher transcript levels .
These data suggest that intron3 may constitute a primary control point in the OsFCA pre-mRNA processing of rice .
The overexpression of OsFCA cDNA , driven by the 35S promoter , was shown to partially rescue the late flowering phenotype of the fca mutant , suggesting that the functions of the OsFCA and the FCA are partially overlapped , despite the lack of an apparent FLC homologue in the rice genome .
The constitutive expression of OsFCA resulted in no downregulation of FLC , but did result in the weak upregulation of SOC1 in the transgenic Arabidopsis .
OsFCA overexpression did not result in a reduction of the gamma transcript levels of FCA in the transgenic Arabidopsis either , thereby suggesting that OsFCA had no effects on the autoregulation of Arabidopsis FCA .
All of these results imply conservation and divergence in the functions of FCA between rice and Arabidopsis . | Matching Sentences:

| Title: OsFY , a homolog of AtFY , encodes a protein that can interact with OsFCA-gamma in rice ( Oryza sativa L ) .
| | Author: Lu Q Xu ZK Song RT .
| | Journal: Acta Biochim . Biophys . Sin . ( Shanghai ) Citation: V : 38 ( 7 ) P : 492-9 Year: 2006 Type: ARTICLE | | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub16820865 Accession (PMID): 16820865 | | Abstract: FCA and FY are flowering time related genes involved in the autonomous flowering pathway in Arabidopsis .
FCA interacts with FY to regulate the alternative processing of FCA pre-mRNA .
The FCA/FY interaction is also required for the regulation of FLC expression , a major floral repressor in Arabidopsis .
However , it is not clear if the regulation of this autonomous flowering pathway is also present in monocot plants , such as rice .
Recently , alternative RNA processing of OsFCA was observed in rice , which strongly suggested the existence of an autonomous flowering pathway in rice .
In this work , we cloned the cDNA of the autonomous flowering pathway gene OsFY from rice .
The predicted OsFY protein contained a conserved 7 WD-repeat region and at least two Pro-Pro-Leu-Pro motifs compared to Arabidopsis FY .
The protein-protein interaction between OsFY and OsFCA-gamma , the key feature of their gene function , was also demonstrated using the yeast two-hybrid system .
The GenBank database search provided evidence of expression for other autonomous pathway gene homologs in rice .
These results indicate that the autonomous flowering pathway is present in monocots , and the regulation through FY and FCA interaction is conserved between monocots and dicots . | Matching Sentences:

| Title: Overexpression of the rFCA RNA recognition motif affects morphologies modifications in rice ( Oryza sativa L ) .
| | Author: Hong F Attia K Wei C Li K He G Su W Zhang Q Qian X Yang J | | Journal: Biosci Rep Citation: V : 27 P : 225-34 Year: 2007 Type: MEDLINE | | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub17597396 Accession (PMID): 17597396 | | Abstract: RNA recognition motifs as important regulators of gene expression are highly conserved in animals and plants .
The FCA floral promotion gene in Arabidopsis encodes a protein , containing two RNA recognition motifs ( RRM ) and a WW protein interaction domain .
Here we isolated FCA cDNA from rice .
FCA in rice ( rFCA ) was homologous to FCA-gamma of Arabidopsis and contained conserved domains .
To investigate the function of RRM domain , fragment RRM1 and RRM2 of rFCA were introduced into rice subspecies Oryza sativa L subsp .
Indica var .
9311 and another rice subspecies Oryza sativa L subsp .
Japonica var . zhonghua11 transformation .
Two transgenic lines exhibited similar phenotypes , flowering time delay , seed size and cell volume of transgenic plants was increased .
These results showed that constitutive expression of RRMs could regulate cellular size .
The patterns of overexpression of two RRM domains and their similar morphologies indicate they may play a same role .

| Title: Abscisic acid does not disrupt either the Arabidopsis FCA-FY interaction or its rice counterpart in vitro .
| | Author: Jang YH Lee JH Kim JK | | Journal: Plant Cell Physiol Citation: V : 49 P : 1898-901 Year: 2008 Type: MEDLINE | | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub18854333 Accession (PMID): 18854333 | | Abstract: We examined the effect of ( + ) -ABA on the in vitro interaction of rice FCA and FY homologs , OsFCA and OsFY .
From this analysis , we found no disruption of the OsFCA-OsFY complexes by ABA treatment .
This result prompted us to examine the effect of ABA on the FCA-FY interaction .
In these experiments , we could not reproduce the inhibitory effect of ( + ) -ABA on the interaction between FCA and FY .
Based on these combined results , we believe that the inhibitory effect of ( + ) -ABA on the FCA-FY interaction should be cautiously reconsidered .
