Abstract excerpt
The plant MADS-box regulatory gene family includes several loci that control different aspects of inflorescence and floral development. Orthologs to the Arabidopsis thaliana MADS-box floral meristem genes APETALA1 and CAULIFLOWER and the floral organ identity genes APETALA3 and PISTILLATA were isolated from the congeneric species Arabidopsis lyrata. Analysis of these loci between these two Arabidopsis species, as...
