    • The cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L var. botrytis) Or gene is a semi-dominant, single-locus mutation. It induces the accumulation of high levels of beta-carotene in various tissues that are normally devoid of carotenoids, turning them orange. Using a map-based cloning strategy, we identified a single candidate gene representing Or and successfully verified its identity by phenotypic complementation in the wild type cauliflower. The Or gene encodes a plastid membrane protein containing the DnaJ zinc figure domain. A likely gain-of-function mutation from a 4.3-kb retrotransposon insertion in the Or allele confers the orange phenotype in the mutant. Southern blot analysis revealed that Or is a single-copy sequence in the cauliflower genome. High level of expression of the Or gene and the protein was found in very young leaves, curds, and flowers at comparable abundance between wild type and the Or mutant.Or likely functions in regulating the differentiation of some non-photosynthetic plastids into chromoplasts, which provide the deposition "sink" for carotenoid accumulation. Or orthologs with high degree of sequence homology were found in many other higher plants, including Arabidopsis, tomato, maize, and rice. Successful phenotypic complementation of Or in Arabidopsis provides strong evidence that Or can work across species to enhance carotenoid accumulation in other important crops.
    • 花椰菜(Brassica oleracea L var。botrytis)或基因是半显性的单基因座突变。 它引起高水平的β-胡萝卜素在各种组织中的积累,通常不含类胡萝卜素,使其变成橙色。 使用基于地图的克隆策略,我们确定了代表Or的单个候选基因,并通过野生型花椰菜的表型互补成功验证了其同一性。 Or基因编码含有DnaJ锌图形结构域的质体膜蛋白。 来自Or等位基因中的4.3-kb反转录转座子插入的可能的功能增益赋予突变体中的橙色表型。 Southern印迹分析显示Or是花椰菜基因组中的单拷贝序列。 Or基因和蛋白质的高水平表达在野生型和Or突变体之间的相当丰度的非常年轻的叶子,凝乳和花中发现。可能在调节一些非光合质体到色素的分化中起作用 为类胡萝卜素积累提供沉积“沉”。 在许多其他高等植物,包括拟南芥,番茄,玉米和水稻中,发现具有高度序列同源性的直向同源物。 在拟南芥中成功的表型互补提供了强有力的证据,或者可以在物种间工作,以增强其他重要作物的类胡萝卜素积累。
