@article{Yanofsky1990ThePE, title={The protein encoded by the Arabidopsis homeotic gene agamous resembles transcription factors}, author={M. Yanofsky and H. Ma and J. Bowman and G. Drews and K. A. Feldmann and E. Meyerowitz}, journal={Nature}, year={1990}, volume={346}, pages={35-39} }
Mutations in the homeotic gene agamous of the plant Arabidopsis cause the transformation of the floral sex organs. Cloning and sequence analysis of agamous suggest that it encodes a protein with a high degree of sequence similarity to the DNA-binding region of transcription factors from yeast and humans and to the product of a homeotic gene from Antirrhinum. The agamous gene therefore probably encodes a transcription factor that regulates genes determining stamen and carpel development in wild… CONTINUE READING
