Function and Diversification of MADS-Box Genes in Rice [PDF]
MADS-box genes play critical roles in a number of developmental processes in flowering plants, such as specification of floral organ identity, control of flowering time, and regulation of fruit development.

The MADS-box family of transcription factors
The MADS-box family of transcription factors has been defined on the basis of primary sequence similarity amongst numerous proteins from a diverse range of eukaryotic organisms including yeasts, plants, insects, amphibians and mammals. The MADS-box is a conserved motif found within the DNA-binding domains of these proteins and the name refers to four ...

Characterization of MADS-box genes in charophycean green algae and its implication for the evolution of MADS-box genes [PDF]
The MADS-box genes of land plants are extensively diverged to form a superfamily and are important in various aspects of development including the specification of floral organs as homeotic selector genes. The closest relatives of land plants are the freshwater green algae charophyceans.

A characterization of the MADS‐box gene family in maize [PDF]
SummaryStudies on distantly related dicot plant species have identified homeotic genes that specify floral meristem identity and determine the fate of floral organ primordia. Most of these genes belong to a family characterized by the presence of a structural motif, the MADS‐box, which encodes a protein domain with DNA‐binding properties. As part of an

MADS-box Genes and Floral Development: the Dark Side [PDF]
The origin of the flower during evolution has been a crucial step in further facilitating plants to colonize a wide range of different niches on our planet. The >250 000 species of flowering plants existing today display an astonishing diversity in floral architecture.

Eucalypt MADS-Box Genes Expressed in Developing Flowers [PDF]
Abstract Three MADS-box genes were identified from a cDNA library derived from young flowers of Eucalyptus grandis W. Hill ex Maiden. The threeegm genes are single-copy genes and are expressed almost exclusively in flowers. The egm1 and egm3genes shared strongest homology with other plant MADS-box genes, which mediate between the floral ...

Investigating the MADS-box protein family in the fern Ceratopteris richardii [PDF]
The family of transcription factors known as MADS-box proteins is found across all land plants, with multiple MADS-box encoding genes per species. In flowering plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana a subset of MADS-box proteins regulates the development of

MADS-box genes controlling inflorescence morphogenesis in sunflower [PDF]
MADS-box genes play an important role in plant ontogeny, particularly, in the regulation of floral organ induction and development. Eight full-length cDNAs of HAM genes (Helianthus annuus MADS) have been isolated from sunflower.
