Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: TaAGO4
  • Gene Name: Argonaute4
  • Genome:
  • Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

  • Two putative wheat Argonaute genes, TaAGO1b and TaAGO4, were cloned. Phylogenetic analysis, prediction of conserved domains and catalytic motifs, and modelling of their protein structures suggested that they encode functional Argonaute proteins.
  • Expression analysis via Semi RT-PCR demonstrated that both TaAGO1b and TaAGO4 were highly expressed in all examined tissues, including the root, stem, leaf, anther, ovule, and mature seed, as well as in developing wheat kernels.
  • These results indicated that both genes (TaAGO1b and TaAGO4) have important roles within the vernalization response, but their functioning might involve different regulatory mechanisms.
