The development of the angiosperm flower has been an important morphological innovation in plant evolution. Through studying the molecular basis of flower development in different model species we are offered insights into the diversification of developmental networks that underly the vast array of angiosperm floral morphologies. The evolution of the MADS-box transcription factor family appears to play a pivotal role in this process.
