Abstract excerpt
The petunia MADS box floral binding protein (fbp) gene 1 represents a class B homeotic gene determining the identity of second and third floral whorl organs. Suppression of fbp1, which is highly homologous to the Antirrhinum gene globosa and Arabidopsis gene pistillata, results in the conversion of petals to sepals and stamens to carpels. In contrast to fbp1, the petunia homeotic gene pMADS1, encoding a protein...
