Origination and selection of ABCDE and AGL6 subfamily MADS-box genes in gymnosperms and angiosperms

Abstract Background The morphological diversity of flower organs is closely related to functional divergence within the MADS-box gene family. Bryophytes and seedless vascular plants have MADS-box genes but do not have ABCDE or AGAMOUS-LIKE6 (AGL6) genes. ABCDE and AGL6 genes belong to the subgroup o...
