Characterization of a novel anther-specific gene encoding a leucine-rich repeat protein in petunia
“Characterization of a novel anther-specific gene encoding a leucine-rich repeat protein in petunia”, vol. 13, pp. 9889-9898, 2014.
, In Petunia x hybrida ‘Fantasy Red’, a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) gene referred to as PhLRR, was identified in a flower bud cDNA library. The open reading frame sequence of PhLRR was 1251 bp, encoding a putative 46.2-kDa protein of 416 amino acids. The PhLRR protein showed high similarity to members of polygalacturonase inhibitor proteins (PGIPs), contained 11 conserved LRR domains, and was an extracellular localization protein.
