Early evolutionary history of the seed

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1511-1553, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

The effect of Superman, Agamous, and ACS-7 gene manipulations on sex determination in transgenic Fragaria vesca \u27Hawaii-4\u27

open access: yes, 2012
Sex determination is of interest to plant breeders who transfer useful genes from wild relatives to the cultivated strawberry. The potential roles in sex determination of seven candidate genes, which included five SUPERMAN genes, the AGAMOUS gene, and ...

Termination of Stem Cell Maintenance in Arabidopsis Floral Meristems by Interactions between WUSCHEL and AGAMOUS

open access: yes, 2001
Floral meristems and shoot apical meristems (SAMs) are homologous, self-maintaining stem cell systems. Unlike SAMs, floral meristems are determinate, and stem cell maintenance is abolished once all floral organs are initiated.

Improving Biological Control Outcomes: A New Zealand Perspective

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 3, June 2026.
This short communication outlines the imperative for advances in classical biological control, often based on molecular technologies, to accentuate the efficacy of impact while being cognisant of the need for biological control safety.

AGL24, SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE, and APETALA1 redundantly control AGAMOUS during early stages of flower development in Arabidopsis

open access: yes, 2006
Loss-of-function alleles of AGAMOUS-LIKE24 (AGL24) and SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE (SVP) revealed that these two similar MADS box genes have opposite functions in controlling the floral transition in Arabidopsis thaliana, with AGL24 functioning as a promoter ...

FLOWERING LOCUS T Genes MtFTb1 and MtFTb2 Act Redundantly to Promote Flowering Under Long Days in Medicago truncatula

open access: yesPlant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Flowering time is a crucial agronomic trait affecting yield and plant performance in different climates and photoperiods. While the molecular pathways regulating photoperiodic flowering are well‐characterized in Arabidopsis and cereals, they remain poorly understood in many other groups of plants.

Traversing the effects of ploidy changes in different Eragrostis curvula genotypes through high‐throughput RNA sequencing

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Polyploidization has played a key role in plant genome evolution. Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Ness, a perennial forage grass species of the Poaceae family, is an excellent model for investigating genome duplication due to its natural variation in ploidy levels.

MADS about flowers: Identification of kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis) AGAMOUS- and SEPALLATA-like genes

open access: yes, 2017
Full text is available to authenticated members of The University of Auckland only.Flowering plants produce a wide variety of fruiting structures, each regulated by the differential expression of a conserved group of genes.

Ectopic expression of the floral homeotic gene AGAMOUS in transgenic Arabidopsis plants alters floral organ identity

open access: yes, 1992
The Arabidopsis floral homeotic gene AGAMOUS (AG) is required for development of the reproductive organs (stamens and carpels). In ag mutants, the loss of AG function leads to the conversion of these organs to the perianth organs (petals and sepals).
