Different B-Class MADS-Box Proteins Affect Floral Organ Morphology in Maize. (A) to (F) Shown are (A) normal stamen identity (*) in the wild-type (WT) maize; stamen having lost floral identity during development in (B) sts1 and (C) si1 mutant flowers. Also shown are sts1 mutant flowers effectively complemented with (D) STS1-HET and (E) STS1-HOM as well as (F) si1 mutants that were not effectively complemented with STS1-HOM. (Modified from Abraham-Juárez et al. [2020], Figures 1A to 1F.)
