Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of MADS-Box Family Genes in Litchi (<i>Litchi chinensis</i> Sonn.) and Their Involvement in Floral Sex Determination

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of MADS-Box Family Genes in Litchi (<i>Litchi chinensis</i> Sonn.) and Their Involvement in Floral Sex Determination

Litchi possesses unique flower morphology and adaptive reproduction strategies. Although previous attention has been intensively devoted to the mechanisms underlying its floral induction, the molecular basis of flower sex determination remains largely unknown. MADS-box genes are promising candidates...
