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 ...

MADS-box genes and crop domestication: the jack of all traits [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2018
MADS-box genes are key regulators of virtually every aspect of plant reproductive development. They play especially prominent roles in flowering time control, inflorescence architecture, floral organ identity determination, and seed development. The developmental and evolutionary importance of MADS-box genes is widely acknowledged.

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

CaMADS1, a MADS box gene expressed in the carpel of hazelnut

Plant Molecular Biology, 1998
Hazelnut (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, 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.

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 ...

Deep evolution of MADS-box genes in Archaeplastida

2023
Abstract 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 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

Isolation and Characterization of New MIKC-Type MADS-Box Genes from the Moss Physcomitrella patens

Plant Biology, 2005
MADS-box genes encode for a large family of transcription-regulating proteins, which were isolated from all groups of eukaryotic organisms. The plant-specific MIKC-type MADS-box genes have been intensively analyzed for their roles in controlling ...
