Protein expression and fine interaction mechanism of banana MuMADS1 and MaOFP1
MuMADS1 is an AGAMOUS (AG)-like MADS-box gene previously isolated from banana fruits. Previous investigation demonstrated that the K-domain of MuMADS1 interacts with MaOFP1. However, the expression characteristics of MuMADS1 and MaOFP1 proteins in banana

The MADS Domain Protein DIANA Acts Together with AGAMOUS-LIKE80 to Specify the Central Cell inArabidopsisOvules [PDF]
AbstractMADS box genes in plants consist of MIKC-type and type I genes. While MIKC-type genes have been studied extensively, the functions of type I genes are still poorly understood. Evidence suggests that type I MADS box genes are involved in embryo sac and seed development.

DNA-binding properties of Arabidopsis MADS domain homeotic proteins APETALA1, APETALA3, PISTILLATA and AGAMOUS [PDF]
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.

The AGAMOUS-LIKE 20 MADS domain protein integrates floral inductive pathways in Arabidopsis [PDF]
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.

AGAMOUS mediates timing of guard cell formation during gynoecium development.
In Arabidopsis thaliana, stomata are composed of two guard cells that control the aperture of a central pore to facilitate gas exchange between the plant and its environment, which is particularly important during photosynthesis.

The MADS-Domain Protein AGAMOUS-Like 15 Accumulates in Embryonic Tissues with Diverse Origins1 [PDF]
Abstract AGL15 (AGAMOUS-like 15), a member of the MADS-domain family of regulatory factors, accumulates preferentially in the organs and tissues derived from double fertilization in flowering plants (i.e. the embryo, suspensor, and endosperm). The developmental role of AGL15 is still undefined.

Developmental robustness by obligate interaction of class B floral homeotic genes and proteins. [PDF]
DEF-like and GLO-like class B floral homeotic genes encode closely related MADS-domain transcription factors that act as developmental switches involved in specifying the identity of petals and stamens during flower development.
