In Arabidopsis thaliana, five pairs COR genes have been found, including COR6.6 (Kurkela and Borg-Franck, 1992), COR15 (Lin and Thomashow, 1992; Wilhelm and Thomashow, 1993), COR47 (Gilmour et al., 1992), COR78 (Horvath et al., 1993) and COR413 (Hajela et al., 1990).
The team also showed that PpeTAC1 has the same effect in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. "Surprisingly, this same gene was found to perform a very similar function in the distantly related rice and corn," says Dardick.

London, United Kingdom, February 06, 2013 --(PR.com)-- In 2005, Susan Lolle and colleagues from Purdue University published a paper in Nature, concluding that Arabidopsis thaliana plants do not obey the laws of Mendelian inheritance (the idea that all genes are inherited from their parents).
