Reproductive development in plants is controlled by complex and intricate gene-regulatory
networks of transcription factors. These networks integrate the information from endogenous …

Background MADS-domain transcription factors play important roles during plant
development. The Arabidopsis MADS-box gene SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE (SVP) is a …

Background Stenospermocarpy is a mechanism through which certain genotypes of Vitis
vinifera L. such as Sultanina produce berries with seeds reduced in size. Stenospermocarpy …

The timing of flowering and the inflorescence architecture are critical for the reproductive
success of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), but the gene regulatory networks underlying …

The MADS transcription factors (TF) constitute an ancient family of TF found in all eukaryotes
that bind DNA as obligate dimers. Plants have dramatically expanded the functional diversity …

Abstract AGAMOUS-LIKE6 (AGL6) genes play essential roles in flower development, but
whether and how they work with floral organ identity genes remain less understood. Here …

Plant pathogenic bacteria have developed effectors to manipulate host cell functions to
facilitate infection. A certain number of effectors use the conserved ubiquitin–proteasome …

Development of eudicot flowers is under tight developmental control by genes belonging to
the MADS box transcription factor family, as is nicely represented by the well-known ABC …

Flowers are composed of organs whose identity is defined by the combinatorial activity of
transcription factors (TFs). The interactions between MADS-box TFs and protein complex …

The Phalaenopsis orchid produces complex flowers that are commercially valuable, which
has promoted the study of its flower development. E‐class MADS‐box genes, SEPALLATA …
