Homeotic Genes: Clustering, Modularity, and Diversity [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Hox genes code for transcription factors and are evolutionarily conserved. They regulate a plethora of downstream targets to define the anterior-posterior (AP) body axis of a developing bilaterian embryo.

A cucumber DELLA homolog CsGAIP may inhibit staminate development through transcriptional repression of B class floral homeotic genes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 In hermaphroditic Arabidopsis, the phytohormone gibberellin (GA) stimulates stamen development by opposing the DELLA repression of B and C classes of floral homeotic genes.

Homeotic Genes and the ABCDE Model for Floral Organ Formation in Wheat
Plants, 2013 Floral organ formation has been the subject of intensive study for over 20 years, particularly in the model dicot species Arabidopsis thaliana. These studies have led to the establishment of a general model for the development of floral organs in higher ...

Interactions between FLORAL ORGAN NUMBER4 and floral homeotic genes in regulating rice flower development. [PDF]
J Exp Bot, 2017 The floral meristem (FM) is self-maintaining at the early stages of flower development, but it is terminated when a fixed number of floral organs are produced. The FLORAL ORGAN NUMBER4 (FON4; also known as FON2) gene, an ortholog of Arabidopsis CLAVATA3 (

Developmental robustness by obligate interaction of class B floral homeotic genes and proteins. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2009 DEF-like and GLO-like class B floral homeotic genes encode closely related MADS-domain transcription factors that act as developmental switches involved in specifying the identity of petals and stamens during flower development.

HoxBlinc lncRNA reprograms CTCF-independent TADs to drive leukemic transcription and HSC dysregulation in NUP98-rearranged leukemia [PDF]
The Journal of Clinical InvestigationAlthough nucleoporin 98 (NUP98) fusion oncogenes often drive aggressive pediatric leukemia by altering chromatin structure and expression of homeobox (HOX) genes, underlying mechanisms remain elusive.

Characterization and Phylogenetic Analysis of MADS-Box Gene Family in Magnoliids: Insights into the Evolution of Floral Morphogenesis in Angiosperms [PDF]
PlantsMagnoliids represent one of the most basal lineages within angiosperms, and their ancestral floral morphology provides crucial insights into the evolution of flowers in angiosperms. MCM1-AGAMOUS-DEFICIENS-SRF (MADS)-box transcription factors play crucial

The role of the trithorax group TnaA isoforms in Hox gene expression, and in Drosophila late development. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Regulation of developmental gene expression in eukaryotes involves several levels. One of them is the maintenance of gene expression along the life of the animal once it is started by different triggers early in development.
