Two similar, apparently full-length potato cDNAs, POTM1-1 and POTM1-2, from an early tuber cDNA library have been identified and sequenced. These two cDNAs encode 250 identical amino acids (aa) including 56 aa of the MADS-box domain and 53 aa of the K-box domain, indicating that they may function as transcription factors. The transcripts of these cDNAs accumulate abundantly in vegetative organs, suggesting that these novel MADS genes may be involved in vegetative organ development of potato.
从一个早期块茎cDNA文库中鉴定并测序了两个相似的、显然是全长的马铃薯cDNA，即POTM1-1和POTM1-2。这两个cDNA编码250个相同的氨基酸，包括56个MADS盒结构域的氨基酸和53个K盒结构域的氨基酸，表明它们可能作为转录因子发挥作用。这些cDNA的转录本在营养器官中大量积累，表明这些新的MADS基因可能参与马铃薯营养器官的发育。
