  In silico functional analyses of FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) and FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) genes were investigated herein. The recognition of cis-regulatory modules and their organization are a prerequisite to information on the regulation of gene expression. Accordingly, this study carried out a promoter analysis on FT and FLC genes in Arabidopsis and its orthologs in Prunus persica by PlantPan and PLANCARE servers in which the integrating transcription factor binding site (TFBs) was involved in hormonal and stress signals. Light responsive elements were also studied. Among the responsive elements identified in FT and FLC, Arabidopsis had the highest number of responsive elements. This is partly because P. persica is day-neutral, whereas Arabidopsis is a facultative long day plant. The results of motif recognition in FT and FLC proteins with the MEME server showed that FT is highly conserve.. View More»
