Members of the MADS-box transcription factor family play essential roles in almost every
developmental process in plants. Many MADS-box genes have conserved functions across …

Plants, as sessile organisms, adapt to different stressful conditions, such as drought, salinity,
extreme temperatures, and nutrient deficiency, via plastic developmental and growth …

Abnormal high temperature (HT) caused by global warming threatens plant survival and
food security, but the effects of HT on plant organ identity are elusive. Here, we show that …

Floral organs are specified by the combinatorial action of MADS-domain transcription
factors, yet the mechanisms by which MADS-domain proteins activate or repress the …

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) has an ancient cultivation history and has become an
emerging profitable fruit crop due to its attractive features such as the bright red appearance …

Flowers are the most complex structures of plants. Studies of Arabidopsis thaliana, which
has typical eudicot flowers, have been fundamental in advancing the structural and …

Hormones, such as auxin and cytokinin, are involved in the complex molecular network that
regulates the coordinated development of plant organs. Genes controlling ovule patterning …

Background Plant MADS box proteins play important roles in a plethora of developmental
processes. In order to regulate specific sets of target genes, MADS box proteins dimerize …

Background Ovules as developmental precursors of seeds are organs of central importance
in angiosperm flowers and can be traced back in evolution to the earliest seed plants …

The life cycle of flowering plants alternates between two heteromorphic generations: a
diploid sporophytic generation and a haploid gametophytic generation. During the …
