Genome-Wide Identification and Analysis of the MADS-Box Gene Family in <i>Theobroma cacao</i>

The MADS-box family gene is a class of transcription factors that have been extensively studied and involved in several plant growth and development processes, especially in floral organ specificity, flowering time and initiation and fruit development. In this study, we identified 69 candidate MADS-...
