Abstract excerpt
MADS-box genes are core members of the ABCDE model for flower development where D-lineage genes play essential roles in ovule identity determination. We report here the cloning and functional characterization of two duplicated MADS-box genes, BdMADS2 and BdMADS4 from Brachypodium distachyon, the...
