Figure 2.

The nucleotide sequence and the deduced amino acid sequence of OsMADS14. The MADS box region is underlined, and the K domain is double underlined. The 10 repeats of the GGA sequence in the 5′-UTR are indicated in bold type. The primer sequence used in isolation of the 5′ region of the gene is underlined. Arrowheads and numbers below the amino acid sequence indicate positions of the first amino acid of the fusion proteins selected by the yeast two-hybrid screening and the number of selected clones with the same first amino acid, respectively. The XhoI site used for generation of the gene-specific probe (accession no. AF058697) is indicated in bold type.
