Radial or bilateral? The molecular basis of floral symmetry. [PDF]
, 2020 In the plant kingdom, the flower is one of the most relevant evolutionary novelties. Floral symmetry has evolved multiple times from the ancestral condition of radial to bilateral symmetry.

Global Identification of Targets of the Arabidopsis MADS Domain Protein AGAMOUS-Like15 [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 2009 Abstract AGAMOUS-Like15 (AGL15) is a MADS domain transcriptional regulator that promotes somatic embryogenesis by binding DNA and regulating gene expression. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis previously identified DNA fragments with which AGL15 associates in vivo, and a low-throughput approach revealed a role for AGL15 in ...

The AGL62 MADS Domain Protein Regulates Cellularization during Endosperm Development in Arabidopsis [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 2008 Abstract Endosperm, a storage tissue in the angiosperm seed, provides nutrients to the embryo during seed development and/or to the developing seedling during germination. A major event in endosperm development is the transition between the syncytial phase, during which the endosperm nuclei undergo many rounds of mitosis without ...

Overexpression of a pear B-class MADS-box gene in tomato causes male sterility
Fruit Research, 2023 B-class MADS-box genes are sufficient for the specification of petals and stamens; however, the role of Tomato MADS-box protein 6 (TM6) in seed formation in pear remains largely unknown.

Structural Basis for Plant MADS Transcription Factor Oligomerization
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2019 MADS transcription factors (TFs) are DNA binding proteins found in almost all eukaryotes that play essential roles in diverse biological processes. While present in animals and fungi as a small TF family, the family has dramatically expanded in plants ...

The AGAMOUS-LIKE 20 MADS domain protein integrates floral inductive pathways in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Genes & Development, 2000 The very late-flowering behavior of Arabidopsiswinter-annual ecotypes is conferred mainly by two genes,FRIGIDA (FRI) and FLOWERING LOCUS C(FLC). A MADS-domain gene, AGAMOUS-LIKE 20(AGL20), was identified as a dominant FRI suppressor in activation tagging mutagenesis.

DNA-binding properties of Arabidopsis MADS domain homeotic proteins APETALA1, APETALA3, PISTILLATA and AGAMOUS [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 1996 The MADS domain proteins APETALA1 (AP1), APETALA3 (AP3), PISTILLATA (PI), and AGAMOUS (AG) specify the identity of Arabidopsis floral organs. AP1 and AG homocomplexes and AP3-PI heterocomplexes bind to CArG-box sequences. The DNA-binding properties of these complexes were investigated.
