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 …

Plant transcription factors (TFs) that interact with specific sequences via DNA-binding
domains are crucial for regulating transcriptional initiation and are fundamental to plant …

We report a high-quality draft genome sequence of the domesticated apple (Malus×
domestica). We show that a relatively recent (> 50 million years ago) genome-wide …

Studies of evolution at the molecular level have experienced phenomenal growth in the last
few decades, due to rapid accumulation of genetic sequence data, improved computer …

MADS-domain transcription factors have been shown to act as key repressors or activators
of the transition to flowering and as master regulators of reproductive organ identities …

The MADS-box gene family is one of the most widely studied families in plants and has
diverse developmental roles in flower pattern formation, gametophyte cell division and fruit …

Whole-genome duplications are a widespread feature of plant genome evolution, having
been detected in all flowering plant lineages. Despite the prevalence of these events, the …

MADS-box genes are important transcription factors for plant development, especially floral
organogenesis. Brachypodium distachyon is a model for biofuel plants and temperate …

The MADS-box transcription factor gene family plays an important role in the growth and
development of plants as well as in biotic and abiotic stress. We conducted a genome-wide …

MIKCc-type MADS-box genes encode transcription factors that control floral organ
morphogenesis and flowering time in flowering plants. Here, in order to determine when the …
