Putative tobacco genes involved in specifying pistil identity or normal pistil morphology and function

These tobacco sequences were identified by the TBLASTN algorithm at the TOBEST database using the Arabidopsis sequences as query.

^aAccession numbers of the Arabidopsis sequences used to search the TOBEST database.

^bEncodes a MADS box protein, but the best hit by TBLASTX at TAIR is to APETALA1 (At1g69120).

^cHas similarity to transcription factors of the bHLH family, but the best hit by TBLASTX at TAIR is to At4g02590, which encodes UNE12 (for UNFERTILIZED EMBRYO SAC12).

^dETT is an auxin response factor (ARF3). The TOBC075G08 encodes an ARF, but the best hit by TBLASTX at TAIR is to ARF8 (At5g37020).

^eEncodes a protein kinase, but the best hit by TBLASTX at TAIR is to ATPDK1 (At5g04510).

^fEncodes a Leu-rich repeat protein kinase, but the best hit by TBLASTX at TAIR is to At1g67720 and not to At1g08590 (CLV1 receptor kinase).

^gEncodes a Leu-rich repeat transmembrane protein kinase, but the best hit by TBLASTX at TAIR is to At5g01890 and not to At1g65380 (CLV2).

^hEncodes a bZIP transcription factor, but the best hit by TBLASTX at TAIR is to ATBZIP42 (At3g30530).

ⁱEncodes a WUS-related homeobox protein. The best hit by TBLASTX at TAIR is to At2g33880 (WOX9) and not to At2g17950 (WUS).
