Potential regulatory networks of MIKCc MADS-box genes in barley inflorescence and floral development. In this figure, ‘MADS’ is abbreviated as ‘M’. (A) Prominent expression of the MIKCc MADS-box genes through developmental stages and the floral organs of barley. (B) Schematic of an adapted ABCDE model for barley floral development. Canonical ABCDE genes are depicted above the floral organs where they are expressed, while additional expressed MIKCc genes are shown below. Transcript before the start of floral organ primordia initiation is given in the leftmost column, tentatively labelled ‘spikelet’.
