Abstract excerpt
Members of the MADS-box gene family control reproductive development in higher plants. In cucumber, floral development exhibits several interesting features related to a genetically determined sex-expression mechanism, that affects the differentiation of male and female flowers. In this study, three cDNA homologues of the homeotic gene AGAMOUS have been cloned from early-stage floral buds of Cucumis sativus and...
