Abstract excerpt
OsMADS4, a rice MADS-box gene, is a member of the GLO/PI family that specifies the identity of petals and stamens in combination with other MADS-box genes. We report here the ectopic expression of OsMADS4 fused to the CaMV 35S promoter in tobacco plants. Transgenic plants carrying the CaMV 35S promoter::OsMADS4 construct generated mutant flowers with a mosaic carpel, in which the tissue around the nectary was...
