Evolution of MADS-Box Gene Induction by FLO/LFY Genes
Journal of Molecular Evolution, 2001Some 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

CaMADS1, a MADS box gene expressed in the carpel of hazelnut
Plant Molecular Biology, 1998Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is a species of economic interest that shows a peculiar floral biology. Unlike most of the angiosperms, which produce ovules during floral development such that they are ready for pollen at anthesis, hazelnut ovary development is delayed and triggered by compatible pollination.

Function and evolution of the plant MADS-box gene family
Nature Reviews Genetics, 2001The 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.

Deep evolution of MADS-box genes in Archaeplastida
2023Abstract MADS-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

MADS‐Box Genes Controlling Flower Development in Rice
Plant Biology, 2003Abstract: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 ...

MADS-box gene evolution—structure and transcription patterns
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2002This 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

The role of MADS-box genes in flower morphogenesis
Acta Physiologiae Plantarum, 2001Intense investigations on genes of flower meristem identity as well as genes responsible for whorl identity led to enormous progress in the knowledge of processes underlaying flower morphogenesis. After cloning genes involved in this process many of them were found to belong to a large, highly conserved family, encoding transcriptional factors ...

Expression of MADS-box genes during the embryonic phase in Arabidopsis
Plant Molecular Biology, 2005MADS domain factors play important roles as developmental regulators in plants. In Arabidopsis thaliana, MADS domain proteins have been shown to regulate various processes during the vegetative and reproductive phases. Relatively little is known, however, about family members expressed during the embryonic phase and their function.

Gene Duplication and the Evolution of Plant MADS-box Transcription Factors
Journal of Genetics and Genomics, 2012Since 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 ...

MADS box genes expressed in developing inflorescences of rice and sorghum
Molecular and General Genetics MGG, 1997With the aim of elucidating the complex genetic system controlling flower morphogenesis in cereals, we have characterized two rice and two sorghum MADS box genes isolated from cDNA libraries made from developing inflorescences. The rice clones OsMADS24 and OsMADS45, which share high homology with the Arabidopsis AGL2 and AGL4 MADS box genes, are ...
