MADS-Box Protein Complexes Control Carpel and Ovule Development in Arabidopsis
Rebecca Favaro,Anusak Pinyopich,Raffaella Battaglia,Maarten Kooiker,Lorenzo Borghi,Gary S. Ditta,Martin F. Yanofsky,Martin M. Kater,Lucia Colombo +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that ectopic expression of either the STK or SHP gene is sufficient to induce the transformation of sepals into carpeloid organs bearing ovules and that the SEP proteins, known to form multimeric complexes in the control of flower organ identity, also form complexes to control normal ovule development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic and molecular interactions between BELL1 and MADS box factors support ovule development in Arabidopsis.
Vittoria Brambilla,Raffaella Battaglia,Monica Colombo,Simona Masiero,Stefano Bencivenga,Martin M. Kater,Lucia Colombo +6 more
TL;DR: A model for ovule development is proposed that explains how the balance between carpel identity activity and ovule identity activity is established by a MADS box homeodomain protein complex.
Journal ArticleDOI
The MADS box genes SEEDSTICK and ARABIDOPSIS Bsister play a maternal role in fertilization and seed development.
Chiara Mizzotti,Marta Adelina Mendes,Elisabetta Caporali,Arp Schnittger,Martin M. Kater,Raffaella Battaglia,Lucia Colombo +6 more
TL;DR: The phenotype of the abs stk double mutant highlights the importance of the maternal-derived tissues, particularly the endothelium, for the development of the next generation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arabidopsis ovule development and its evolutionary conservation
TL;DR: This review discusses recent findings in reference to ovule development in Arabidopsis and compares available data with those of other species to investigate the evolutionary conservation of the regulatory pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI
VERDANDI Is a Direct Target of the MADS Domain Ovule Identity Complex and Affects Embryo Sac Differentiation in Arabidopsis
Luis Matias-Hernandez,Raffaella Battaglia,Francesca Galbiati,Marco Rubes,Christof Eichenberger,Ueli Grossniklaus,Martin M. Kater,Lucia Colombo +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that STK, SHP1, and SHP2 redundantly regulate VERDANDI (VDD), a putative transcription factor that belongs to the plant-specific B3 superfamily, and the role of the downstream target gene VDD in female gametophyte development is identified.
