Genome-wide identification of the MIKCc-type MADS-box gene family in Chrysanthemum lavandulifolium reveals their roles in the capitulum development.

ABSTRACT: Chrysanthemum ×morifolium is well known throughout the world for its diverse and exquisite flower types. However, due to the complicated genetic background of C. ×morifolium, it is difficult to understand the molecular mechanism of its flower development. And it limits the molecular breeding of improving chrysanthemum flower types. C. ×morifolium has the typical radial capitulum, and many researches showed that the members of the MIKCc-type MADS box gene family play a key role in the formation and development of the capitulum. However, it has been difficult to isolate the important MIKCc and investigate their roles in this process due to the lack of genomic information in chrysanthemum. Here, we identified MIKCc-type MADS box genes at whole genome-
