The expansion of gene families encoding regulatory proteins is typically associated with the
increase in complexity characteristic of multi‐cellular organisms. The MYB and basic helix …

TCP genes encode plant-specific transcription factors with a bHLH motif that allows DNA
binding and protein–protein interactions. The TCP gene family has five members in the …

After its initial definition in 1999, the TCP family of transcription factors has become the focus
of a multiplicity of studies related with plant development at the cellular, organ, and tissue …

Plant-specific TCP domain transcription factors have been shown to regulate morphological
novelties during plant evolution, including the complex architecture of the Asteraceae …

A striking aspect of flowering plant (angiosperm) diversity is variation in flower symmetry.
From an ancestral form of radial symmetry (polysymmetry, actinomorphy), multiple …

Symmetry is a defining feature of floral diversity. Here we review the evolutionary and
ecological context of floral symmetry (adding new data regarding its distribution), as well as …

Perianth bilateral symmetry (zygomorphy) has evolved repeatedly from radial symmetry
(actinomorphy) throughout angiosperms. Zygomorphy has previously been linked with plant …

The complex inflorescences (capitula) of Asteraceae consist of different types of flowers. In G
erbera hybrida (gerbera), the peripheral ray flowers are bilaterally symmetrical and lack …

The diverse pigmentation patterns of flower corollas probably result from pollinator‐
mediated selection. Previous studies demonstrated that R2R3‐MYB factors may have been …

Chrysanthemum morifolium, one of the most economically important ornamental crops
worldwide, is well-known for the elaborate and complex inflorescence which is composed of …
