Research Progress on the Family of TCP Genes

doi:10.13560/j.cnki.biotech.bull.1985.2016.09.003

Abstract

Abstract: The TCP genes encode plant specific transcription factors,containing a bHLH motif,which binds with DNA or produces the interactions between protein and protein. In the family of TPC genes there are 5 members in monocotyledons and over 20 members in dicotyledons. The duplication and diversification of genes evolve two types of TCP gene families with slightly different TCP domains. Here,we just briefly summarize the evolution on the family,their regulations,the biochemical properties of their proteins,and the biochemical functions of some members,especially on cell proliferation controlling developmental tissue. Growing studies on the functions of TCP genes make it possible to adjust plants growth patterns and create new agricultural science character by regarding TCP gene as a tool,to provide ideas for better regulation of plant growth patterns and regulation of physiological characteristics of plants.

Key words: TCP gene, regulation, biochemical function
