The photoperiod response of fowering is critical to the survival and successful reproduction in crops. The Hd6 gene, encoding a protein similar to the Arabidopsis a-subunit of CASEIN KINASE2a (CK2a) has been reported to affect flowering time through the photoperiodic pathway in rice. In this study, the maize ortholog, ZmHd6, has been cloned and its role in the photoperiodic pathway was investigated. ZmHd6 encodes 332 amino acids with six distinct domains: two CK2 active domains, a nuclear localization signal sequence, a N terminal domain, an ATP binding site, and an active site of serine/threonine protein kinase. ZmHd6 was constitutively expressed in the leaves and shoot apical meristem (SAM) with the highest expression in SAMs of plants with seven leaves under long and short day conditions. Delayed flowering time under long day (LD) conditions were observed in ZmHd6 overexpression transgenic Arabidopsis plants compared to the wild type. In transgenic Arabidopsis plants, ZmHd6 was expressed in a circadian oscillatory pattern, TOC1 peak expression was delayed, new GI, CO, and FT expressions reached to peak after 3 h while entering illumination period and oscillatory expression patterns of CO and FT were created during the dark phase. These results suggested that ZmHd6 might negatively regulate flowering time under LD conditions by delaying TOC1 peak expression and disrupting CO and FT expression in transgenic Arabidopsis plants.

抽象可以是一个殊途同归的结果,随着当代艺术的发展,包括市场对抽象艺术的接纳,我们也应当警惕那些只有果没有因的抽象。  进入新千年,抽象艺术在国内的处境有所改变,所受的关注比以往任何时候都多。不少从事抽象绘画的艺术家从海外归来,如谭平、许江、马路、孟禄丁、苏笑柏、朱金石、马树青等,他们大多数在德国学习生活,这些艺术家对于抽象艺术的研究和创作给国内的艺术界带来新气象。此外不少批评家也纷纷策划抽象艺术展
