Summary of MADS box structural and functional data obtained for monocot orders. The characterization of species putatively following the generic ABCDE model or ‘modified ABC model’ (involving B function in the outer perianth) is indicated where data are available. Orders for which sequences are available but not functional, data are indicated by an asterisk. Note that the tree (not to scale) is for illustrative purposes only and is based on the topology indicated by Savolainen and Chase (2003), which is undergoing revision.
