High impact information on WPI1

  • Phylogenetic reconstruction indicated that WPI1 is orthologous to OsMADS4 and that WPI2 is probably an ortholog of OsMADS2 [1].
  • To obtain information about the molecular mechanism underlying pistillody induction, we isolated two PISTILLATA ( PI)-type class-B MADS-box genes, WPI1 ( wheat PI STILLATA # 1) and WPI2, from wheat [1].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of WPI1

  • An in situ hybridization study demonstrated that the WPI1 gene is expressed in primordia of lodicules and stamens in developing florets in wheat [1].
