Control of floral meristem determinancy in petunia by MADS box transcription factors (2006)

Ferrario, S.I.T., Shchennikova, A.V., Franken, J., Immink, R.G.H., Angenent, G.C.

The shoot apical meristem (SAM), a small group of undifferentiated dividing cells, is responsible for the continuous growth of plants. Several genes have been identified that control the development...

Functional characterization of MADS box transcription factors in Petunia hybrida (2006)

Ferrario, S.I.T.

Conservation and diversity in flower land (2004)

Ferrario, S.I.T., Immink, R.G.H., Angenent, G.C.

During the past decade, enormous progress has been made in understanding the molecular regulation of flower development. In particular, homeotic genes that determine the identity of the floral organs...

The Petunia ortholog of Arabidopsis SUPERMAN plays a distinct role in floral morphogenesis (2004)

Nakagawa, H., Ferrario, S.I.T., Angenent, G.C., Kobayashi, A., Takatsuji, H.

Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) SUPERMAN (SUP) plays a role in establishing a boundary between whorls 3 and 4 of flowers and in ovule development. We characterized a Petunia hybrida (petunia)...

Ectopic expression of the Petunia MADS box gene UNSHAVEN accelerates flowering and confers leaf-like characteristics to floral organs in a dominant-negative manner (2004)

Ferrario, S.I.T., Busscher-Lange, J., Franken, J., Gerts, T., Vandenbussche, M., Angenent, G.C., ...

Several genes belonging to the MADS box transcription factor family have been shown to be involved in the transition from vegetative to reproductive growth. The Petunia hybrida MADS box gene UNSHAVEN...

Analysis of the petunia MADS-box transcription factor family (2003)

Immink, R.G.H., Ferrario, S.I.T., Busscher-Lange, J., Kooiker, M., Busscher, M., Angenent, G.C.

Transcription factors are key regulators of plant development. One of the major groups of transcription factors is the MADS-box family, of which at least 80 members are encoded in the Arabidopsis...

The MADS Box Gene FBP2 Is Required for SEPALLATA Function in Petunia (2003)

Ferrario, S.I.T., Immink, R.G.H., Shchennikova, A., Busscher-Lange, J., Angenent, G.C.

The ABC model, which was accepted for almost a decade as a paradigm for flower development in angiosperms, has been subjected recently to a significant modification with the introduction of the new...

Toward the analysis of the Petunia MADS box gene family by reverse and forward transposon insertion mutagenesis approaches: B, C, and D Floral organ identity functions require SEPALLATA-Like MADS box genes in Petunia (2003)

Vandenbussche, M., Zethof, J., Souer, E., Koes, R., Tornielli, G.B., Pezzotti, M., ...

We have initiated a systematic functional analysis of the MADS box, intervening region, K domain, C domain-type MADS box gene family in petunia. The starting point for this has been a...

Analysis of MADS box protein-protein interactions in living plant cells (2002)

Immink, R.G.H., Gadella, T.W.J., Ferrario, S.I.T., Busscher, M., Angenent, G.C.

Over the last decade, the yeast two-hybrid system has become the tool to use for the identification of protein-protein interactions and recently, even complete interactomes were elucidated by this...
