为研究A功能基因在山茶花重瓣形成过程中所发挥的功能,利用同源克隆和RACE扩增方法,从重瓣山茶花品种‘金盘荔枝’发育早期的花芽中获得了山茶花AP基因全长cDNA,命名为CjAPL1,GenBank登录号JX657332。该基因全长1 149 bp,其中,开放阅读框(ORF)长度为741 bp,5’非编码区长度206 bp,3’非编码区长度202 bp。经氨基酸序列分析表明:CjAPL1基因编码一条含有246个氨基酸的蛋白质,与猕猴桃、八仙花等植物的Ap1蛋白同源性均在75%以上。Rea- time PCR结果显示,CjAPL1基因在‘金盘荔枝’不同发育时期花芽中的表达量为:花芽发育早III期>花芽发育早II期>花芽发育早I期>现蕾期,表达趋势表现为先逐渐升高而后急剧降低;花器官不同部位中的表达量为花柱最高,其次为子房和萼片,在雄蕊下部和外轮花上部中的表达量最低。这些差异表明,CjAPL1基因可能在‘金盘荔枝’重瓣花形成中发挥作用。
