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 ...

A ubiquitously expressed MADS-box gene from Nicotiana tabacum
Plant Molecular Biology, 1994Experiments 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.

Characterization and transcriptional profiles of two rice MADS-box genes
Plant Science, 2000The plant MADS-box gene family plays a key role in plant development, especially in flower development. We designed degenerate primer according to the MADS-box conserved region and isolated two cDNA from rice, FDRMADS6 and FDRMADS7, which are homologous to AP1.

Genome-wide analysis of the MADS-box gene family in cucumber
Genome, 2012MADS-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 ...

SHATTERPROOF MADS-box genes control seed dispersal in Arabidopsis
Nature, 2000The 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 ...

Dormancy-Associated MADS-BOX Genes: A Review
2015Dormancy-associated MADS-BOX (DAM) genes encode transcription factors suspected of regulating bud dormancy in numerous perennials. This chapter discusses the functional genetics and regulation of these genes. Further, this chapter summarizes the supporting evidence for these transcription factors playing a central role in seasonal bud dormancy ...

MADS-BOX GENES AND USES THEREOF
2000Described are nucleic acid molecules encoding novel MADS-box proteins which are expressed in the upper florets of spikelets of grass inflorescences as well as regulatory sequences which naturally regulate the expression of such nucleic acid molecules.
