Genome-wide identification, characterization of the MADS-box gene family in Chinese jujube and their involvement in flower development

Abstract MADS-box genes encode transcription factors that are involved in plant development control (particularly in floral organogenesis) and signal transduction pathways, though a comprehensive analysis of MADS-box family proteins in Chinese jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) is still missing. Here, w...
