Patterns of MADS-box gene expression mark flower-type development in Roosa AE Laitinen, Suvi Broholm, Victor A Albert, Teemu H Teeri, Paula Elomaa BMC Plant Biology 2006, 6:11 (9 June 2006) The two forms taken by a Gerbera inflorescence, the ray and disc flowers, have differentially expressed genes indicating that flower-type specific MADS-box transcription factors play a central role in determining which flower develops.
