Specifically, in land plants, the MADS-box gene family has undergone substantial expansion and provided the genetic raw material for many developmental novelties, including flowers, fruits and seeds. Therefore, understanding the origin of MADS-box genes is crucial for gaining insights into the evolutionary success of land plants. Land plant MADS-box TFs have been categorized into two groups. MIKC-type (Type II) TFs are named after the structural arrangement of the MADS (M), Intervening (I) and plant-specific Keratin-like (K) domain, followed by a variable C-terminal region. By contrast, M-type (Type I) TFs lack the K domain (Alvarez-Buylla <i>et al</i>., <span>2000</span>; Kofuji <i>et al</i>., <span>2003</span>; Nam <i>et al</i>., <span>2004</span>). The identification of mutants exhibiting distinct flower organ patterns led to the discovery of a multitude of MIKC-type MADS-box TFs in plants (Ng & Yanofsky, <span>2001</span>; Nam <i>et al</i>., <span>2003</span>; Kaufmann <i>et al</i>., <span>2005</span>). By contrast, the identification of M-type genes occurred exclusively through bioinformatic analyses following the unveiling of the <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i> genome (Alvarez-Buylla <i>et al</i>., <span>2000</span>). Within the MIKC-type of MADS-box TFs, the MIKC*-type is distinguished based on the different arrangements of exons that encode the K domain (Svensson <i>et al</i>., <span>2000</span>; Henschel <i>et al</i>., <span>2002</span>; Zobell <i>et al</i>., <span>2010</span>; Kwantes <i>et al</i>., <span>2012</span>; Rümpler <i>et al</i>., <span>2023</span>). Both the ‘classic’ MIKC<sup>C</sup>- and the MIKC*-types are present across land plant lineages and form well-supported separate clades (Kwantes <i>et al</i>., <span>2012</span>; Gramzow & Theissen, <span>2013</span>; Liu <i>et al</i>., <span>2013</span>), suggesting that they diverged before the diversification of land plant lineages (Henschel <i>et al</i>., <span>2002</span>; Kofuji <i>et al</i>., <span>2003</span>; Tanabe <i>et al</i>., <span>2005</span>; Kwantes <i>et al</i>., <span>2012</span>).</p><p>It was a long-standing prevailing view in the field that plant Type II genes are orthologs to myocyte enhancer factor-2 (MEF2) genes in animals. Those were presumed to have diverged from plant Type I genes and animal serum response factor (SRF) genes via an ancient duplication before the divergence of the extant eukaryotic lineages (Alvarez-Buylla <i>et al</i>., <span>2000</span>). Thus, with the shared presence of the K domain, MIKC*-type MADS-box genes were intuitively considered more closely related to MIKC<sup>C</sup>-type genes, collectively called Type II. This adheres to the principle of parsimony, by which the acquisition of the K domain should ideally have occurred only once during t","PeriodicalId":214,"journal":{"name":"New Phytologist","volume":"244 2","pages":"358-363"},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/nph.20065","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141989268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
