Ginkgo biloba is a kind of gymnosperm,and a dioecious tree species.The nucleotide DNA sequence was cloned from the genomic DNA of the tender leaves collected from a male tree in Ginkgo biloba L.cv.Dafushou.The analysis of DNA sequence structure indicated that the gene was composed of 3450 bp,and inferred the sequence to LEAFY gene of the male Ginkgo .Comparing the gene with LEAFY gene of the female Ginkgo reported in the relative references,the rate of homology was 99%,only lacking 3 nucleotides.The research work laid a sound foundation for studing the regulation and controlling flowering mechanism in Ginkgo biloba L.at the molecuar level in the future.展开更多

On the basis of LEAFY (LFY in brief) gene sequences of C. sinensis and P. trifoliata, a pair of 21 bp primers was designed and used to amplify about a 2 300 bp DNA fragment from C. lansium by PCR. The DNA fragment was cloned into pMD18-T vector and then sequenced. The sequence analysis showed that the genomic DNA clone with 2 346 bp contained a complete coding sequence of LFY homologous gene (ClLFY) which 3 exons were composed of a completed open reading frame and encoded 397 amino acids. The identities of nucleotide sequences of LFY genes between C. lansium with C. sinensis and P. trifoliata were more than 92%, and their identities of amino acid sequences were 95%.The result also indicated that C. lansium LFY gene was one amino acid less than the LFY homologous genes from C. sinensis and P. trifoliata.The research laid a sound foundation for studying the regulation and control in flowering mechanism in C. lansium at the molecular level in the future.展开更多
