Requirement of MADS domain transcription factor D-MEF2 for muscle formation in Drosophila
-
of outstanding interest, The function of the single MEF2 gene from Drosophila was determined by generating a loss-of-function mutant. In mutant embryos, somatic, cardiac and visceral muscle cells did not differentiate, but myoblasts were normally specified. This demonstrates that different muscle cell types share a common myogenic differentiation program controlled by MEF2. Though it is known even to us that flies are not plants, these results are mentioned in this review because they illustrate beautifully that the ‘synteny of functions’ is not restricted to the plant lineage. Although insects and vertebrates separated 〉500 million years ago, they still share structurally and functionally highly related MEF2-type MADS-box genes, with the remarkable difference that mammals have at least four genes, whereas Drosophila has just one, which is reminiscent of the four clusters of mammalian Hox genes in contrast to the single cluster of insects.

Comparison of MADS box gene expression in developing male and female flowers of the dioecious plant white campion
-
of special interest, From the dioecious plant Silene latifolia, the authors have isolated cDNAs of putative orthologs of MADS-box genes well characterized in the hermaphroditic model plants Antirrhinum majus and Arabidopsis thaliana and have studied the expression of these genes. Unfortunately, the authors have to conclude from their data that the studied MADS-box genes are not directly involved in sex determination in Silene. However, they do report the interesting finding that two of their genes, SLM4 and SLM5, are expressed in inflorescence meristems as well as flower meristems, whereas the presumed orthologs from Antirrhinum and Arabidopsis, SQUAMOSA and APETALA1, respectively, are not expressed in inflorescence meristems. As Silene has a determinate dichasial inflorescence, whereas Antirrhinum and Arabidopsis have an indeterminate apical inflorescence meristem, the different expression of the SQUAMOSA-like genes may reflect differences in [[Truncated]]

Molecular basis of the cauliflower phenotype in Arabidopsis
-
of special interest, Isolation of the CAULIFLOWER gene from Arabidopsis thaliana reveals that it is a MADS-box gene closely related in sequence to APETALA1. Analysis of the cultivated garden variety of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) showed that its putative CAULIFLOWER gene ortholog is not functional, suggesting a molecular basis for an interesting domestication process based on one of the oldest recognized flower abnormalities.

Chromosomal mapping of the MADS-box multigene family in Zea mays reveals dispersed distribution of allelic genes as well as transposed copies
-
of special interest, Determination of chromosomal map positions of MADs-box genes in recombinant inbred lines of maize revealed that these genes are strongly dispersed throughout the maize genome, a finding which is very likely representative of plant MADS-box genes in general. Moreover, a family of MADS-box containing elements was detected whose members resemble transposable elements in some aspects. Members of that family are present in some maize lines at certain chromosomal position, but are absent there in other lines.

Structural characterization, chromosomal localization and phylogenetic evaluation of two pairs of AGAMOUS-like MADS-box genes from maize
-
of special interest, The first two genomic structures of MADS-box genes from a mono-cotyledonous plant are presented and are shown to be highly similar to some AGAMOUS-like genes from dicots. Phylogenetic evaluation of the sequences of these and the cDNAs of two other genes and chromosomal mapping both suggest that two pairs of genes have been identified that were created during duplication of chromosomal segments or complete chromosomes. These data make it seem likely that many MADS-box genes of diploid dicots are orthologous to pairs of paralogs from maize, probably because of the ‘tetraploid’ genome constitution of maize.

Conifer homologues to genes that control floral development in angiosperms
-
of outstanding interest, The first documentation of the presence of MADS-box genes (DAL1–3) in a non-flowering seed plant, a plant bearing truly unisexual axes (Norway spruce, Picea abies). According to their MADS-box sequences, these genes belong to three different subfamilies that were previously known only in angiosperms (Table 1). Tandre show that the subfamily assignment is in agreement with phylogenetic tree reconstructions and the expression patterns of the genes, which supports our notion that the membership of a MADS-box gene to a certain subfamily can be determined quite reliably from the MADS-box sequence (G Theiβen, J Kim, H Saedler, unpublished data). Furthermore, the presented data demonstrate that at least three of the MADS-box gene subfamilies of plants had already been established in the last common ancestor of conifers and angiosperms, suggesting that the control systems for reproductive development in conifers and [[Truncated]]

Spatially and temporally regulated expression of the MADS-box gene AGL2 in wild-type and mutant Arabidopsis flowers
-
of special interest, Describes the expression of AGL2, the prototype of a poorly defined subfamily of MADS-box genes. AGL2-like genes can be distinguished from the typical SQUAMOSA-like floral meristem-identity and A, B, and C-type flower organ-identity genes of the APETALA1, DEFICIENS/GLOBOSA and AGAMOUS-type by their sequence and expression pattern (Table 1). AGL2 is abundantly expressed throughout the floral meristem and in the primordia of all four types of floral organs. AGL2 expression is also high in developing ovules, embryos and seed coats. Except for plants transgenic for TM5 and FBP2 [27,38], no mutants of AGL2-like genes exist, so a detailed expression analysis is useful to get ideas about their function.

Molecular evolution of flower development: diversification of the plant MADS-box regulatory gene family
-
of special interest, Molecular analyses of plant MADS-box genes revealed appreciable differences in the substitution rates between different domains of these genes, with the MADS-box being the most highly conserved region. Furthermore, the phylogenetic analyses of Purugganan are in agreement with the subfamily structure described in this review (Table 1). The authors have also noted that the shared evolutionary history of members of a gene subfamily reflects the distinct functional roles these MADS-box genes play in flower development.

Control of Arabidopsis flower and seed development by the homeotic gene APETALA2
-
of special interest, Reports the cloning and analysis of APETALA2, which promotes the establishment of the floral meristem as well as regulating floral organ development by suppressing AGAMOUS gene expression in the 1° and 2° whorls. In addition, APETALA2 is required for normal seed coat development and, moreover, is even expressed in vegetative organs. Despite its function in determination of floral meristem and organ identity, APETALA2 is not a MADS-box gene, but encodes a member of a new class of plant regulatory proteins.

The data presented suggest that a key role of LEUNIG is to negatively regulate AGAMOUS expression in the first two whorls of the Arabidopsis flower and thus functions as a class A cadastral gene in A and C boundary establishment according to the ABC model (see text).

The authors show that the gene occupies an intermediate position in a sequence of gene activation that starts with the floral meristem-identity genes and leads to expression of the organ-identity genes in specific whorls of the floral meristem. It is interesting to note that FIMBRIATA is not a MADS-box gene. Rather, it encodes a product with no detectable homology to other known proteins.

Function and regulation of the Arabidopsis floral homeotic gene PISTILLATA
-
of special interest, Cloning and analysis of PISTALLATA makes it seem likely that it is the ortholog of the Antirrhinum gene GLOBOSA, much as APETALA3 is the ortholog of the Antirrhinum gene DEFICIENS. Thus, though Antirrhinum and Arabidopsis belong to different subclasses of dicots and are thought to have been diverging since the Cretaceous period, they both possess very similar pairs of interacting B function floral homeotic genes, DEFICIENS/GLOBOSA and APETALA3/PISTILLATA, respectively, beautifully illustrating the ‘synteny of functions’ between distantly related dicots.

Homeotic genes and the regulation and evolution of insect wing number
-
of outstanding interest, The authors have investigated the role of homeotic genes in pterygote evolution by examining their function in Drosophila wing development and their expression in a primitive apterygote. They suggest that wings first arose without homeotic gene involvement in an ancestor with a homeotic ‘groundplan’ similar to modern winged insects, and that wing formation then fell under the negative control of individual homeotic genes at different stages of pterygote phylogeny.

Evolution of homeotic gene regulation and function in flies and butterflies
-
of outstanding interest, The authors have examined homeotic gene expression and regulation in butterflies and flies. They show that the difference in larval limb number between these species results from striking changes in bithorax-complex gene regulation in the butterfly abdomen. Moreover, high expression of the Ultrabithorax gene in hindwing imaginal discs of butterflies shows that the wing-patterning genes regulated by Ultrabithorax have diverged in the course of butterfly and fly evolution. These results suggest that changes in the number, size and pattern of homologous structures are most likely to involve changes in the timing and spatial regulation of existing genes, which in some cases are homeotic genes and in others are their downstream targets.
