Abstract excerpt
A-, B-, and C-class genes code for MADS-box transcription factors required for floral organ identity in angiosperms. Other members of the family are also crucial to ensure proper carpel and fruit development. Development of genetic and genomic tools for Medicago truncatula has allowed its use as model system to study the genetic control of flower and fruit development in legumes. M. truncatula contains a single...
