Abstract excerpt
There is evidence that gene duplication and diversification within the MADS-box gene family had significant impact on floral architecture. In this study, we report the isolation of four class B homologous genes from Akebia trifoliata, termed AktAP3_1, AktAP3_2, AktAP3_3, and AktPI. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that the three AktAP3 paralogs were produced by two gene duplication events and AktAP3_2 and AktAP3_3...
