Floral development associated AGAMOVS, PISTILLATA and APETALA3 genes of Arabidopsis encodes proteins with ..................... domain.
Answer: C
These genes encode proteins with a MADS domain.
AGAMOUS (printed AGAMOVS), PISTILLATA and APETALA3 are floral organ identity genes of the ABC model in Arabidopsis. All three encode MADS-box transcription factors, named after MCM1, AGAMOUS, DEFICIENS and SRF, which bind DNA as dimers and specify petals, stamens and carpels.
GRAS (printed GRASS), WRKY and NAC are other plant transcription factor families, involved in processes such as gibberellin signalling, defence and stress responses, and development of secondary walls. They are not the domain shared by these floral genes.
