Many monocot plants have high social and economic value. These include grasses such as
rice (Oryza sativa), wheat (Triticum aestivum), and barley (Hordeum vulgare), which produce …

MADS-box genes are key regulators of virtually every aspect of plant reproductive
development. They play especially prominent roles in flowering time control, inflorescence …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is one of the most important crops worldwide. Given a growing
global population coupled with increasingly challenging cultivation conditions, facilitating …

The well‐known ABC model describes the combinatorial interaction of homeotic genes in
specifying floral organ identities. While the B‐and C‐functions are highly conserved …

Background Automated plant phenoty** has been established as a powerful new tool in
studying plant growth, development and response to various types of biotic or abiotic …

A major challenge of plant biology is to unravel the genetic basis of complex traits. We took
advantage of recent technical advances in high‐throughput phenoty** in conjunction with …

Unlike the flower of the model monocot rice, which has diverged greatly from the ancestral
monocot flower, the pineapple (Ananas comosus) flower is more typical of monocot flowers …

MADS-box genes have a wide range of functions in plant reproductive development and
grain production. The ABCDE model of floral organ development shows that MADS-box …

Grasses represent a major family of monocots comprising mostly cereals. When compared
to their eudicot counterparts, cereals show a remarkable morphological diversity …

The ovules and egg cells are well developed to be fertilized at anthesis in many flowering
plants. However, ovule development is triggered by pollination in most orchids. In this study …
