A short history of MADS-box genes in plants
TLDR
It is demonstrated that the phylogeny of MADS-box genes was strongly correlated with the origin and evolution of plant reproductive structures such as ovules and flowers, and it seems likely that changes in MADs-box gene structure, expression and function have been a major cause for innovations in reproductive development during land plant evolution.

MADS-box genes reveal that gnetophytes are more closely related to conifers than to flowering plants.
TLDR
P phylogeny reconstructions and the outcome of expression studies suggest that complex features such as flower-like reproductive structures and double-fertilization arose independently in gnetophytes and angiosperms.

Two ancient classes of MIKC-type MADS-box genes are present in the moss Physcomitrella patens.
TLDR
The studies reveal an ancient duplication of an MIKC-type gene that occurred before the separation of the lineages that led to extant mosses and vascular plants more than about 450 MYA, and strongly suggest that the most recent common ancestor of mossesand vascular plants contained at least one MI KC(c)-type and one MIKC(*)-type gene.

Floral homeotic genes were recruited from homologous MADS-box genes preexisting in the common ancestor of ferns and seed plants.
TLDR
The data indicate that at least two different MADS-box genes homologous to floral homeotic genes existed in the last common ancestor of contemporary vascular plants, some descendants of which underwent multiple duplications and diversifications and were recruited into novel developmental networks during the evolution of floral organs.

Maize MADS-Box Genes Galore
TLDR
The genes reported here are a rich ressource for further studies on the evolutionary dynamics of a complex gene family, the developmental genetics of maize, and a rational crop design employing developmental control genes as tools.
MADS-complexes regulate transcriptome dynamics during pollen maturation
TLDR
This work has identified the pollen-specific MIKC* class of MADS-domain transcription factors as major regulators of transcriptome dynamics during male reproductive cell development in Arabidopsis thaliana and uncovered part of the underlying network.

MIKC* MADS-Protein Complexes Bind Motifs Enriched in the Proximal Region of Late Pollen-Specific Arabidopsis Promoters[W]
TLDR
It is found that the AtMIKC* proteins are able to form multiple heterodimeric complexes in planta, and that these protein complexes exhibit a for the MADS-family unusual and high DNA binding specificity in vitro.

MIKC* MADS-box proteins: conserved regulators of the gametophytic generation of land plants.
TLDR
It is suggested that MIKC* MADS-box proteins have largely preserved molecular roles in the gametophytic generation of land plants.
