Bilateral flower symmetry developmental genetics in Proteaceae
Bilateral symmetry has evolved as an adaptive trait linked to efficient pollination and successful outcrossing, occurring over 170 times in angiosperms and in many plant groups relying upon the asymmetric expression of...
AP1/SEP/AGL6 MADs-box genes in a basal eudicot
Sun et al. study structural and functional variation of FUL-like (AP1 subfamily), SEP-like and AGL6-like genes in the basal eudicot Epimedium sagittatum.
Virus-induced gene silencing and evo-devo studies in Cysticapnos
Gene silencing studies are increasingly being used to unravel the role of developmental genes. Hidalgo et al. report the establishment of virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) in Cysticapnos vesicaria, a member of the...
