Rice (OsLAX) Maize (ZmBA1) BA1/LAX expression via in situ hybridization Gallavotti, A., et al. (2004), Nature 432(7017): 630-5 Komatsu, K., et al. (2003). Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 100(20): 11765-70
11
Hypotheses: 1)BA1 duplication event occurred at base of grass family 2)BA1 is expressed in branching primordia throughout inflorescence development
12
Specific aims to test hypothesis 1)Isolate BA1 bHLH genes from diverse array of grasses and near grass relatives 2) Generate phylogenies to pinpoint duplication event 3) Document inflorescence development using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) 4) Gene Expression Analysis via in situ hybridization
