Evolution of a family of plant genes with regulatory functions in development; studies on Picea abies and Lycopodium annotinum

This work is focused on the molecular genetic basis for morphological change in evolution. Genes belonging to the MADS-box gene family, which includes members, that determine angiosperm floral organ identity, were isolated and characterised from two non-angiosperm plants; Norway spruce (Picea abies)...
