“…For instance, RT-PCR on the organs of Aristolochia simply detects AP3/PI expression in both the perianth and the fused gynostemium, while in situ hybridization reveals the actual complexity of the genes' expression. Finally, functional analyses are key to the understanding of gene activity because conservation of expression pattern may not represent strict conservation of function (Baum 2002;see also David-Schwartz and Sinha 2007). This fact is underscored by the work with DL in Oryza.…”

“…These guidelines suggest several lines for future research. It would be particularly useful to focus comparative expression and functional analyses on closely related taxa, where heterologous transformations would be more meaningful and intermediate morphologies are often available (Baum 2002). In addition, detailed studies of intermediate taxa that span the phylogenetic distance between the better-studied Arabidopsis and rice, for example, basal angiosperms and lower eudicots, are key to understanding the angiosperms' ancestral genetic tool kit.…”

“…For example, much taxonomic emphasis has been placed on the arrangement of flowers in racemes or on solitary pedicels originating from the basal rosette. We now know that a few genes, including LEAFY, control the development of rosette instead of raceme flowering in the Brassicaceae (Shu et al 2000, Baum 2002, Yoon and Baum 2004, and several genera (e.g. Leavenworthia, Selenia) can have both types of flowering on the same plant.…”

Systematics and phylogeny of the Brassicaceae (Cruciferae): an overview

2006

Abstract. A critical review of characters used in the systematics of the Brassicaceae is given, and aspects of the origin, classification, and generic delimitation of the family discussed. Molecular phylogenetic studies of the family were reviewed, and major clades identified. Based on molecular studies, especially from the ndhF chloroplast gene, and careful evaluation of morphology and generic circumscriptions, a new tribal alignment of the Brassicaceae is proposed. In all, 25 tribes are recognized, of which seven (Aethionemeae, Boechereae, Descurainieae, Eutremeae, Halimolobeae, Noccaeeae, and Smelowskieae) are described as new. For each tribe, the center(s) of distribution, morphology, and number of taxa are given. Of the 338 genera currently recognized in the Brassicaceae, about 260 genera (or about 77%) were either assigned or tentatively assigned to the 25 tribes. Some problems relating to various genera and tribes are discussed, and future research developments are briefly covered.

“…Flower development provides particularly a useful framework for comparative studies of gene function and evolution, because flowers in general have a stereotypical architecture (Baum, 2002;Purugganan, 2000). Furthermore, the study of floral development has revealed several key genes regulating fundamental processes (Baum, 2002;Shepard and Purugganan, 2002).…”

Members of the APETALA1 (AP1)/FRUITFULL (FUL)-like gene family of MADS-box genes play important roles in controlling the development of floral organs. To understand the molecular mechanisms of floral development in orchid, we isolated and characterized a Phalaenopsis AP1/FUL-like gene, PhalFUL. The results of phylogenetic analysis indicated that PhalFUL is in the monocots group of AP1/FUL-like gene. PhalFUL transcripts were detected in the flower buds, but not in vegetative organs. Moreover, in situ hybridization experiments revealed PhalFUL hybridization signals in all floral organ primordia at a very early stage of floral development, and continued expression in the column of whorls 3 and 4 until late developmental stages. These expression patterns were similar to those of the FUL-like genes in Arabidopsis (FUL) and Antirrhinum (DEFH28), suggesting that the PhalFUL is similar in function to FUL and DEFH28. Additional key words: A-class, AP1/FUL-like gene, floral organs Hort.
