A cDNA clone, Mdh3, was isolated from young fruit of Malus domestica Borkh. The Mdh3 gene is closely related to the Phalaenopsis 039 homeobox gene, which is involved in ovule development in orchids. Mdh3 mRNA was expressed in young apple leaves, flower buds and young fruit. In situ hybridization of flower buds showed that Mdh3 mRNA accumulated in the ovules, suggesting that Mdh3 may be involved in apple ovule development.Keywords: Apple, cDNA clone, fruit, homeobox gene, ovules.
