TLDR
This study provides a solid base for functional genomics studies into this important family of plant regulatory genes, including the poorly characterized group of M-type MADS-box proteins.Abstract:
MADS-box transcription factors are key regulators of several plant development processes Analysis of the complete Arabidopsis genome sequence revealed 107 genes encoding MADS-box proteins, of which 84% are of unknown function Here, we provide a complete overview of this family, describing the gene structure, gene expression, genome localization, protein motif organization, and phylogenetic relationship of each member We have divided this transcription factor family into five groups (named MIKC, Mα, Mβ, Mγ, and Mδ) based on the phylogenetic relationships of the conserved MADS-box domain This study provides a solid base for functional genomics studies into this important family of plant regulatory genes, including the poorly characterized group of M-type MADS-box proteins MADS-box genes also constitute an excellent system with which to study the evolution of complex gene families in higher plantsread more

Genome-Wide Analysis of the ERF Gene Family in Arabidopsis and Rice
TL;DR: It was concluded that the major functional diversification within the ERF family predated the monocot/dicot divergence and might have been due to chromosomal/segmental duplication and tandem duplication, as well as more ancient transposition and homing.

TL;DR: The identification and characterization of T-DNA insertion lines for 18 of the 23 ARF gene family members in Arabidopsis thaliana suggest that the ARF7 and ARF19 proteins play essential roles in auxin-mediated plant development by regulating both unique and partially overlapping sets of target genes.

TL;DR: The progression from proliferating microspores to terminally differentiated pollen is characterized by large-scale repression of early program genes and the activation of a unique late gene-expression program in maturing pollen.

Analysis of the genome sequence of the flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana.
TL;DR: This is the first complete genome sequence of a plant and provides the foundations for more comprehensive comparison of conserved processes in all eukaryotes, identifying a wide range of plant-specific gene functions and establishing rapid systematic ways to identify genes for crop improvement.
