Skunk cabbage (Symplocarpus renifolius) can keep the spadix temperature at around 20 degrees Celsius even if the air temperature falls below freezing. In the thermogenic spadix, a large amount of mitochondria was observed and the genes involved in cellular respiration or mitochondrial function were highly expressed. These results suggest that transcriptional regulation systems may exist to activate mitochondrial biogenesis during the thermogenic stage in skunk cabbage. To elucidate the transcriptional mechanisms, we examined 5' flanking regions of several genes which may play a role directly or indirectly in floral thermogenesis and was highly expressed in the thermogenic-stage spadices. As a result, we identified several consensus sequences conserved in all promoter regions in the genes examined here. These cis-regulatory elements may play a role in regulating the expression of the genes, and lead to massive floral thermogenesis through increased mitochondrial function.

即使气温低于冰点，臭甘蓝 (Symplocarpus renifolius) 也能将肉穗花序温度保持在 20 摄氏度左右。在产热花序中，观察到大量线粒体，并且参与细胞呼吸或线粒体功能的基因高表达。这些结果表明转录调控系统可能存在以在臭菘的产热阶段激活线粒体生物发生。为了阐明转录机制，我们检查了几个基因的5'侧翼区域，这些基因可能直接或间接地在花生热作用中发挥作用，并且在生热阶段花序中高度表达。结果，我们鉴定了在此检查的基因的所有启动子区域中保守的几个共有序列。这些顺式调节元件可能在调节基因表达中发挥作用，并通过增加线粒体功能导致大量的花产热作用。
