Transcription factors MhyFIL1 and MhyFIL3 <i>(Monotropa hypopitys)</i> determine the asymmetric development of above-ground lateral organs in plants by A. V. Shchennikova, A. M. Kamionskaya, A. V. Nezhdanova, K. S. Gavrilova, M. A. Filyushin, E. Z. Kochieva, K. G. Skryabin

“…The aerial part of the plant is a reproductive axis with sterile bracts and inflorescence with a flower type canonical for higher plants. The origin of leaves and leaf-like lateral organs is associated, among other factors, with the evolution of the YABBY genes, which are divided into“vegetative” and evolutionarily recent“reproductive” genes, with regard to their expression profiles. …”
