Abstract:
Expression patterns from in situ hybridization of four MADS-box genes (GGM7, GGM9, GGM11, and GGM15) from the gymnosperm species Gnetum gnemon are presented. Together with previously published data about putative orthologs of floral homeotic genes from G. gnemon (GGM2, GGM3, GGM13),
we describe seven temporally and spatially distinct expression patterns
in male, female or both types of reproductive units which very likely
reflect the diversity of MADS-box gene function in gymnosperm cones.
There is evidence that some aspects of the observed differential
expression have been conserved since the last common ancestor of extant
angiosperms and gymnosperms about 300 million years ago.
