Abstract EARLY FLOWERING 3 (ELF3), a light zeitnehmer (time-taker) gene, regulates circadian rhythm and photoperiodic flowering in Arabidopsis, rice, and barley. The three orthologs of ELF3 (TaELF3-1AL, TaELF3-1BL, and
TaELF3-1DL) have been identified in wheat too, and one gene, TaELF3-1DL, has been associated with heading
date. However, the basic characteristics of these three genes and the roles of the other two genes, TaELF3-1BL
and, TaELF3-1AL, remain unknown. Therefore, the present study obtained the coding sequences of the three
orthologs (TaELF3-1AL, TaELF3-1BL, and TaELF3-1DL) of ELF3 from bread wheat and characterized them
and investigated the role of TaELF3-1BL in Arabidopsis. Protein sequence comparison revealed similarities… More >
