Complexes of MADS-box proteins are sufficient to convert leaves into floral organs.

Nature - 25 Jan 2001

Honma T, Goto K

Abstract excerpt

Genetic studies, using floral homeotic mutants, have led to the ABC model of flower development. This model proposes that the combinatorial action of three sets of genes, the A, B and C function genes, specify the four floral organs (sepals, petals, stamens and carpels) in the concentric floral whorls. However, attempts to convert vegetative organs into floral organs by altering the expression of ABC genes have...
