e0“we propose a modification in the Fading Borders Model in A. trichopoda with a modified A-function, B- and E-function orthologs' expression being sex-specific, and C- and D-function genes having roles similar to that in the classical ABCDE model”

- Method / resource The survey identified 42 MADS-Box genes in A. trichopoda.
- Observation Twenty-seven MADS-Box genes were classified as Type II or MIKC.
- Observation A direct APETALA1 ortholog was absent in A. trichopoda.
- Observation MIKC-type genes were differentially expressed between male and female flowers.
- Observation APETALA3 showed differential expression between the two sexes.
- Observation PISTILLATA showed differential expression between the two sexes.
- Observation E-function orthologs were upregulated in female flowers.
