This study aimed to investigate gene families related Prunus persica (peach) and their evolutionary relationships. Gene identification sequence alignment methods were used characterize Homeobox, MADS-box, NAC, Receptor-kinase-like families. expression data analysis was conducted assess activity regulatory mechanisms in peach plant development. involved a local BLASTp using protein sequences from...

To date, the function of MADS-domain transcription factors in non-seed plants remains largely elusive, although a number of genes have been isolated and characterized from a variety of species. In our study we analyzed PPM2, a classical MIKC-type MADS-box gene from the moss Physcomitrella patens, taking advantage of the unique technical properties Physcomitrella offers in terms of efficient hom...
