Diverse Roles for MADS Box Genes in Arabidopsis Development

Members of the MADS box gene family play important roles in flower
development from the early step of determining the identity of floral
meristems to specifying the identity of floral organ primordia later in
flower development. We describe here the isolation and characterization of
six additional members of this family, increasing the number of reported
Arabidopsis MADS box genes to 17. All 11 members reported prior to this
study are expressed in flowers, and the majority of them are floral
specific. RNA expression analyses of the six genes reported here indicate
that two genes, AGL11 and AGL13 (AGL for AGAMOUS-like), are preferentially
expressed in ovules, but each has a distinct expression pattern. AGL15 is
preferentially expressed in embryos, with its onset at or before the octant
stage early in embryo development. AGL12, AGL14, and AGL17 are all
preferentially expressed in root tissues and therefore represent the only
characterized MADS box genes expressed in roots. Phylogenetic analyses
showed that the two genes expressed in ovules are closely related to
previously isolated MADS box genes, whereas the four genes showing
nonfloral expression are more distantly related. Data from this and
previous studies indicate that in addition to their proven role in flower
development, MADS box genes are likely to play roles in many other aspects
of plant development.
