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.

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

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.

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

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 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

The role of MADS-box genes in flower morphogenesis

Acta Physiologiae Plantarum, 2001
Intense 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, 2005
MADS 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.
