Arabidopsis thaliana has homologous gene clusters to the Hox genes found in Drosophila.What are these master regulatory clusters called?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The homologous gene clusters to the Hox genes found in Drosophila, present in Arabidopsis thaliana, are called MADS-box proteins. These are a family of transcription factors that play crucial roles in various aspects of plant development, including the regulation of flower development, similar to the role of Hox genes in animal development.
