Abstract excerpt
The non-yellowing gene (NYE1), initially identified from Arabidopsis, is a key regulatory gene responsible for chlorophyll degradation during senescence. Here, FaNYE1, an orthologue of AtNYE1, was further identified from a major type of cool-season turf grass, tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.), by RACE-PCR. It consists of 1,441 bp, with an open reading frame of 834 bp, encoding a predicted polypeptide of...
