MADS-box family genes in sheepgrass and their involvement in abiotic stress responses
Background MADS-box genes are categorized into A, B, C, D and E classes and are involved in floral organ identity and flowering. Sheepgrass (Leymus chinensis (Trin.) Tzvel) is an important perennial forage grass and adapts well to many adverse ...

Functional characterization of two plant type I MADS-box genes in Arabidopsis thaliana : AGL40 and AGL62 : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Plant Biology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
MADS-box transcription factors (TF) are a family of evolutionary conserved genes found across various eukaryotic species. Characterized by the conserved DNA binding MADS-box domain.

FLOWERING LOCUS C Encodes a Novel MADS Domain Protein That Acts as a Repressor of Flowering [PDF]
Winter-annual ecotypes of Arabidopsis are relatively late flowering, unless the flowering of these ecotypes is promoted by exposure to cold (vernalization). This vernalization-suppressible, late-flowering phenotype results from the presence of dominant, late-flowering alleles at two loci, FRIGIDA (FRI) and FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC).

Repression of flowering by the miR172 target SMZ. [PDF]
A small mobile protein, encoded by the FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) locus, plays a central role in the control of flowering. FT is regulated positively by CONSTANS (CO), the output of the photoperiod pathway, and negatively by FLC, which integrates the effects

Exploring transcriptional signalling mediated by OsWRKY13, a potential regulator of multiple physiological processes in rice [PDF]
BACKGROUND Rice transcription regulator OsWRKY13 influences the functioning of more than 500 genes in multiple signalling pathways, with roles in disease resistance, redox homeostasis, abiotic stress responses, and development.

Mapping the protein regions responsible for the functional specificities of the Arabidopsis MADS domain organ-identity proteins. [PDF]
The Arabidopsis MADS domain proteins AP1, AP3, PI, and AG specify floral organ identity. All of these proteins contain a MADS domain required for DNA binding and dimerization; a region termed L (linker between MADS domain and K domain), which plays an important role in dimerization specificity; the K domain, named for its similarity to the coiled-coil ...

ZmMADS47 Regulates Zein Gene Transcription through Interaction with Opaque2. [PDF]
Zeins, the predominent storage proteins in maize endosperm, are encoded by multiple genes and gene families. However, only a few transcriptional factors for zein gene regulation have been functionally characterized.
