AGL6-like MADS-box genes are sister to AGL2-like MADS-box genes

Journal of Plant Biology, 2013
AGL6-like genes form one of the major subfamilies of MADS-box genes and are closely related to the AGL2 (Eclass) and SQUA (A-class) subfamilies. In Arabidopsis, AGL6 and AGL13 have been reported from the AGL6 subfamily, and AGL6 controls lateral organ development and flowering time.

MADS-Box Genes Reach Maturity

Science, 2002
Understanding the molecular pathways that direct fruit ripening will enable development of interventions to preserve fruits during storage and shipping. In a Perspective, Causier and colleagues discuss new work ( Vrebalov et al .) that takes a step in this direction by revealing that a MADS-box transcription factor is crucial for ...

Characterization of the Selaginella remotifolia MADS-box gene

Journal of Plant Research, 2002
Recent progress in plant molecular genetics has revealed that floral organ development is regulated by several homeotic selector genes, most of which belong to the MADS-box gene family. Here we report on SrMADS1,a MIKC(c)-type MADS-box gene from Selaginella, a spikemoss belonging to the lycophytes.

MADS-box gene evolution—structure and transcription patterns

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2002
This study presents a phylogenetic analysis of 198 MADS-box genes based on 420 parsimony-informative characters. The analysis includes only MIKC genes; therefore several genes from gymnosperms and pteridophytes are excluded. The strict consensus tree identifies all major monophyletic groups known from earlier analyses, and all major monophyletic groups

MADS‐Box Genes Controlling Flower Development in Rice

Plant Biology, 2003
Abstract:The separation between monocot and dicot plants occurred about 120 ‐ 180 million years ago and since then major morphological changes have led to the striking differences that can be observed today. To understand whether, despite these differences, the processes controlling flower development are fundamentally comparable in dicot and monocot ...

Evolution of MADS-Box Gene Induction by FLO/LFY Genes

Journal of Molecular Evolution, 2001
Some MADS-box genes function as floral homeotic genes. The Arabidopsis LFY gene is a positive regulator of floral homeotic genes, and homologs of the FLO/LFY gene family in other angiosperms and gymnosperms are likely to have a similar function. To investigate the origin of the floral homeotic gene regulatory cascade involving the FLO/LFY gene, FLO/LFY

Deep evolution of MADS-box genes in Archaeplastida

2023
AbstractMADS-box genes represent a paneukaryotic gene family encoding transcription factors. Given its importance for essential functions in plants, animals and fungi, such as development of organ identity and mating type determination, the phylogeny of MADS-box genes is of great biological interest. It has been well established that a gene duplication

A short history of MADS-box genes in plants

Plant Molecular Biology, 2000
Evolutionary developmental genetics (evodevotics) is a novel scientific endeavor which assumes that changes in developmental control genes are a major aspect of evolutionary changes in morphology. Understanding the phylogeny of developmental control genes may thus help us to understand the evolution of plant and animal form.

[MADS-box genes controlling inflorescence morphogenesis in sunflower].

Ontogenez, 2008
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 (Helianthus annuus MADS) genes have been isolated from sunflower. They encode MADS-box transcription factors expressed in inflorescence tissues.

SHATTERPROOF MADS-box genes control seed dispersal in Arabidopsis

Nature, 2000
The fruit, which mediates the maturation and dispersal of seeds, is a complex structure unique to flowering plants. Seed dispersal in plants such as Arabidopsis occurs by a process called fruit dehiscence, or pod shatter. Few studies have focused on identifying genes that regulate this process, in spite of the agronomic value of controlling seed ...
