Open AccessTranscriptomic comparison sheds new light on regulatory networks for dimorphic flower development in response to photoperiod in Viola prionantha
Chasmogamous (CH)–cleistogamous (CL) dimorphic flowers are developed in Viola prionantha. However, the environmental and genetic factors necessary for the CH–CL transition are unknown.

Open AccessThe PHOSPHATE1 genes participate in salt and Pi signaling pathways and play adaptive roles during soybean evolution
The PHOSPHATE1 (PHO1) gene family plays diverse roles in inorganic phosphate (Pi) transfer and signal transduction, and plant development. However, the functions and diversification of soybean PHO1 family are poo...

Open AccessExpression of B-class MADS-box genes in response to variations in photoperiod is associated with chasmogamous and cleistogamous flower development in Viola philippica
Some plants develop a breeding system that produces both chasmogamous (CH) and cleistogamous (CL) flowers. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains elusive.

Open AccessSequence and expression variations suggest an adaptive role for the DA1-like gene family in the evolution of soybeans
The DA1 gene family is plant-specific and Arabidopsis DA1 regulates seed and organ size, but the functions in soybeans are unknown. The cultivated soybean (Glycine max) is believed to be domesticated from the ann...

Open AccessThe MADS-domain protein MPF1 of Physalis floridana controls plant architecture, seed development and flowering time
Floral and vegetative development of plants is dependent on the combinatorial action of MADS-domain transcription factors. Members of the STMADS11 subclade, such as MPF1 of Physalis, are abundantly expressed in l...
