Progress on Study of CYC-like Genes During the Floral Development of Angiosperm

doi:10.13560/j.cnki.biotech.bull.1985.2015.04.002

Abstract

Abstract: CYCLOIDEA(CYC)-like genes are members of TCP family and play an important role during floral development. CYC-like genes underwent gene duplication deep within angiosperm phylogeny, they diversified into three major clades, CYC1, CYC2, CYC3, and CYC2 clade genes are main regulators in floral symmetry. But the studies on CYC1 and CYC3 are limited. In this paper, recent insights into CYC-like genes and the prospective of the study on CYC genes were reviewed.

Key words: CYC gene, floral symmetry, TCP gene family, evolution
