Abstract:

Flowering and floral development is a kind of highly complex project, which involved many factors and their interactions. As key transcription factors, MADS-box genes can change the whole development processes, so they have become the most widely studied genes in the researches of floral organs. Recent advances in the diversified functions of the MADS-box genes regulating flowering and floral development provided new insights into general transcriptional regulatory mechanisms that control floral developmental programs. Reviewing these advances, which can provide some useful references for further exploration of the varies functions of MADS-box genes and further complement of floral development theory.

Key words: flowering and floral development, MADS-box genes, regulatory mechanism, floral development models
