In this study, seven cDNA fragments of genes, differentially expressed in ovaries after pollination in Cymbidium hybridium, were identified and characterized by mRNA differential display reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (DDRT-PCR). Four (CDD-313, CDD-272, CDD-265, CDD-243) among these seven cDNA fragments showed no significant homology with ESTs or genes in the databases of NCBI; another three (CDD-193, CDD-218, CDD-470) showed significant homologies with sequences encoding components of an ABC-type transporter, a GTPase and 40S ribosomal S3 proteins (RPS3), respectively. The differential expression patterns of them were confirmed by reverse Northern dot blot analysis. More interestingly, CDD-470 appeared to be present and highly expressed in the pollinated ovaries and encoded a new factor of RPS3 participating in cell growth and proliferation. We deduced that this 40s ribosomal S3 like protein was involved in ovary development of orchids.

Keywords: differential display RT-PCR; floral development; 40S ribosomal S3 protein (RPS3)
