Abstract: MADS-box genes are a super family, which can form different polymers to mediate the development of floral primordia and floral organs. The important one of MADs-box genes, SOC1 [suppressor of overexpression of cytochrome oxidase 1], determine the flowering time. The MADS-box transcription factor, SOC1 contains four different functions domains: MADS, I, K, and C. The K domain controls the homologous or heterologous protein polymer formation. The I domain could stabilize the MADS-box proteins binding the DNA. In order to control the floral development, MADS-box proteins can form different complex. Visible difference in floral timing is demonstrated in Phyllostachys violascens and Arabidopsis thaliana. A. thaliana is certain in floral timing while Phyllostachys violascens is not. Though we cannot compare the difference in floral timing with the difference in SOC1 complex formation, it is still interesting. MADS-box genes such as SOC1 containing four different functions: MADS, I, K and C, control floral timing. To determine whether SOC1s from different species demonstrated similar patterns in forming a complex, this study analyzed the differences of polymer formation for SOC1 that originated from Phyllostachys violascens and Arabidopsis thaliana using a yeast two-hybrid assay. Results of the assay showed that the full-length AtSOC1 gene from A. thaliana formed strong homo-polymers with the I and K domains being the main regions for formation of the interaction. However, the full-length SOC1 from Phyllostachys violascens (PvSOC1) did not form a homodimer. Thus, even though the K protein domain could form a homodimer, the presence of the I protein domain disrupted the dimer meaning the I domain could be a key factor in SOC1 polymer formation; the role of the I domain in floral timing should be verified with a plant transgene study.[Ch, 5 fig. 2 tab. 29 ref.]
