ESTs encoding non-specific lipid transfer proteins are the most abundant transcripts during late petal development in gerbera. Gene mining of the gerbera EST database revealed a gene family composed of at least ten LTP genes. (A) Sequence similarity comparison between the gerbera LTPs based on amino acid similarity (%) of the consensus sequences retrieved from gerbera LTP clusters indicate that the cDNAs are encoding different gene family members. GLTP1 represents the previously isolated gerbera gene [X31588] and corresponds to C_G0000300001A01. (B) Expression analysis of the gerbera LTP genes detected in the microarray comparison of various flower organs reveals several tissue specifically expressed gene family members. The probe for GLTP1 corresponds to C_G0000300001A01. Cluster C_G0000500007B05 is represented by the EST G0000700011D11 on the microarray.
