}The homeodomain-leucine zipper (HD-Zip) genes encode transcription factors that are characterized by the presence of both a homeodomain and a leucine zipper motif. They belong to the homeobox gene superfamily and have been reported only from flowering plants. This article is the first report on the ferm HD-Zip genes (named Crhb1-Crhb11) isolated from the homosporous ferm Ceratopteris richardii. Phylogenetic analyses of the II Crhb genes with previously reported angiosperm HD-Zip genes show that…

All of the PPHB: genes except Pphb3 belong to three of the four HD-Zip subfamilies (HD-Zip I, II, and III), indicating that these subfam families originated before the divergence of the vascular plant and moss lineages.

The results from this study will be useful in selecting candidate genes from specific subfamilies for functional analysis, and almost all members of the same subfamily shared common motif compositions, thereby implying that the HD-ZIP proteins within the samesubfamily may have functional similarity.

Phylogenetic analysis showed that HD-Zip IV genes from cucumber, Arabidopsis, tomato, cotton, maize, and rice could be classified into five subgroups and two conserved motifs of 21 and 19 nucleotides were found in the 3'-untranslated regions of six CsHDZIV genes, suggesting that post-transcriptional regulation may play a role in regulation of these genes.

E ectopic overexpression of GaHDG11, a representative of the HD-ZIP IV family, confers enhanced osmotic tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis plants, possibly due to elongated primary root length, lower water loss rates, high osmoprotectant proline levels, significant levels of antioxidants CAT, and/or SOD enzyme activity with reduced levels of MDA.

The characterization of Athb-10, a 747 amino acid protein belonging to the fourth HD-ZIP family, is reported, indicating that, although less conserved, the leucine zipper of Ath b-10 can functionally replace that of AthB-2 in an in vitro DNA-binding assay.

Two-hybrid assays showed that Oshox1 protein can homodimerize, but can also form heterodimers with an Arabidopsis HD- Zip protein, suggesting that protein-protein interactions may also occur between different HD-Zip proteins in rice, which would provide enormous versatility for generating specific gene-control mechanisms.

The hypothesis that there was at least one duplication of homeobox genes before the origin of angiosperms, fungi, and metazoa is supported and suggests that these proteins had diverse functions early in the evolution of eukaryotes.

The data indicate that at least two different MADS-box genes homologous to floral homeotic genes existed in the last common ancestor of contemporary vascular plants, some descendants of which underwent multiple duplications and diversifications and were recruited into novel developmental networks during the evolution of floral organs.

RNA analysis showed that the Athb-8 gene is expressed during the vegetative and the reproductive phases of plant growth, and auxin, indole-3-acetic acid, which is involved in vascular development and differentiation, modulates the expression of the gene.

Remarkably, far-red-rich light treatment of Arabidopsis plants results in a rapid and strong induction of the Athb-2 expression, suggesting a similar role for the two members of this HD-Zip family.
