We isolated and characterized two flower-specific genes from petunia. The
protein products of these genes, designated floral binding protein 1 (FBP1)
and 2 (FBP2), are putative transcription factors with the MADS box DNA
binding domain. RNA gel blot analysis showed that the fbp1 gene is
exclusively expressed in petals and stamen of petunia flowers. In contrast,
the FBP1 protein was only detectable in petals and not in stamens,
suggesting post-transcriptional regulation of the fbp1 gene in these
tissues. The fbp2 gene is expressed in petals, stamen, carpels, and at a
very low level in sepals but not in vegetative tissues. We analyzed the
spatial expression of these fbp genes in floral organs of two homeotic
flower mutants. In the blind mutant, whose flower limbs are transformed
into antheroid structures on top of normal tubes, identical expression
levels of both genes were observed in the antheroid structures as in normal
anthers. In the homeotic mutant green petals, the petals are replaced by
sepaloid organs in which the expression of fbp1 is strongly reduced but not
completely abolished. Our results suggest a regulation of the fbp1 gene
expression by the green petals (gp) gene. Expression of the fbp2 gene was
not affected in the green petals mutant. In contrast to the proposed models
describing floral morphogenesis, our data indicated that homeotic genes can
be functional in one whorl only.
