Experiments in Antirrinum majus, Arabidopsis thaliana and Petunia hybrida have demonstrated that putative transcription factors of the so-called MADS-box family play an important role in determining floral organ identity. Such regulatory genes are transiently expressed in small numbers of cells in the floral apex. Here we describe the isolation of a cDNA from Nicotiana tabacum coding for a MADS-box protein which is expressed in both the floral and vegetative organs of the plant.
在金鱼草、拟南芥和矮牵牛中进行的实验表明，所谓的MADS盒家族的假定转录因子在决定花器官特性方面起着重要作用。这类调控基因在花顶端的少数细胞中短暂表达。本文描述了从烟草中分离出一个编码MADS盒蛋白的cDNA，该蛋白在植物的花器官和营养器官中均有表达。
