Abstract excerpt
APETALA3: (AP3) encodes a floral homeotic class B-function MADS-box protein and plays crucial roles in petal and stamen development. To better understand the functional roles of AP3 orthologs in Eriobotrya, we isolated and identified an AP3 ortholog, referred to as EjAP3, from Eriobotrya japonica. Analyses of protein sequence and phylogenetic tree showed that the EjAP3 was assigned to the rosids euAP3 lineage and...
