SHATTERPROOFMADS-box genes control seed dispersal in Arabidopsis

Article Abstract:

SHATTERPROOF (SHP1) and SHATTERPROOF2 (SHP2) MADs-box genes are needed for fruit dihiscence in Arabiodopsis.

Molecular characterization of the Arabidopsis floral homeotic gene APETALA1

Article Abstract:

The first reproductive stage for Arabidopsis thaliana is the transition of an inflorescence meristem into a floral meristem and this has been found to require at least two genes, APETALA 1 and LEAFY. APETALA 1 has been cloned, characterized and found to contain a MADS-domain. The data suggest that the action of APETALA 1 is local and determines the identity of the floral meristem and petal and sepal development.

Assessing the redundancy of MADS-box genes during carpel and ovule development

Article Abstract:

Results demonstrate that SHATTERPROOF (SHP)genes are involved in the AGAMOUS (AG)-independent carpel development in plants. Normal development of the funiculus, connecting the developing seed to the fruit and seed dispersal, requires SEEDSTICK gene. Data suggest that all four AG-clade members specify the identity of ovules in plants.
