Fig. 1From: Overexpression of PvCO1, a bamboo CONSTANS-LIKE gene, delays flowering by reducing expression of the FT gene in transgenic ArabidopsisBioinformatic analysis of PvCO1 and PvCO2. a Genomic structures of PvCO1 and PvCO2. The filled boxes indicated the exons, the black lines indicated introns, and the open boxes indicated upstream sequence or downstream sequence. Numbers represented the sizes of each region in base pairs. b Alignment of deduced amino acid sequences of PvCO1, PvCO2, Hd1 (rice) and CO (Arabidopsis). The conserved B-box and CCT domains of CO homologs are boxed. In red M1, M2, and M3 are additional conserved regions between the four CO homologs. Amino acids which are 100% conserved are shaded in black and partially conserved are shaded in grayBack to article page
