A ubiquitously expressed MADS-box gene from Nicotiana tabacum [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Molecular Biology, 1994
Experiments in Antirrinum majus, Arabidopsis thaliana and Petunia hybrida have demonstrated that putative transcription factors of the so-called MADS-box family play an important role in determining floral organ identity. Such regulatory genes are transiently expressed in small numbers of cells in the floral apex.

Gene Duplication and the Evolution of Plant MADS-box Transcription Factors

Journal of Genetics and Genomics, 2012
Since the first MADS-box transcription factor genes were implicated in the establishment of floral organ identity in a couple of model plants, the size and scope of this gene family has begun to be appreciated in a much wider range of species. Over the course of millions of years the number of MADS-box genes in plants has increased to the point that ...

Genome-wide analysis of the MADS-box gene family in cucumber

Genome, 2012
MADS-box transcription factors are known to be involved in many important processes during plant growth and development. To date, few cucumber MADS-box genes and little tissue expression profiling have been reported. Recent completion of the cucumber whole-genome sequencing has allowed genome-wide analysis of the MADS-box gene family in cucumber as ...

Genome-Wide Analysis of the MADS-Box Gene Family in Maize: Gene Structure, Evolution, and Relationships

open access: yesGenes, 2021
The MADS-box gene family is one of the largest families in plants and plays an important roles in floral development. The MADS-box family includes the SRF-like domain and K-box domain.

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.

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.

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 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 ...

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

Function and evolution of the plant MADS-box gene family

Nature Reviews Genetics, 2001
The function of MADS-box genes in flower and fruit development has been uncovered at a rapid pace over the past decade. Evolutionary biologists can now analyse the expression pattern of MADS-box genes during the development of different plant species, and study the homology of body parts and the evolution of body plans.
