The evolution of the MADS-box gene family is essential for rapid differentiation floral organs and fruit types in angiosperms. Two key processes drive families: duplication functional differentiation. Duplicated copies provide material variation, while advantageous mutations can confer new functions on copies. In this study, we selected Rosaceae family, which includes a variety flower organs, as well species that existed before after whole-genome (WGD). results indicate different are associated with duplications WGD events. While most derived from have been lost, genes not only retain but also undergo further duplication. sequences, protein structures, expression patterns these undergone significant This work provides clear example context differentiation, offering insights into organs.

Abstract The fascinating scent of rose (Rosa genus) flowers has captivated human senses for centuries, making them one the most popular and widely used floral fragrances. Despite much progress over last decade, many biochemical pathways responsible scents remain unclear. We analyzed compositions from various varieties selected modern cultivar Rosa hybrida “Double Delight” as a model system to unravel formation dominant volatile terpenes, which contribute substantially fragrance. Key genes involved in terpene biosynthesis were functionally characterized. Cytosolic geranyl diphosphate (GPP) generated by geranyl/farnesyl synthase (G/FPPS1) catalysis played pivotal role production, synthases roses play an important but not geraniol, citral, or β-citronellol. Subsequently, series enzymes, including geraniol dehydrogenase, geranial reductase, 12-oxophytodienoate citronellal characterized transformation β-citronellol through three successive steps. Interestingly, pathway appears be conserved other horticultural plants like Lagerstroemia caudata Paeonia lactiflora. Our findings provide valuable insights into terpenoid compounds offer essential gene resources future breeding molecular modification efforts.
