  abstract = {{MADS} box genes code for a large family of transcription factors which regulate development in higher plants, notably flower formation. {W}e describe here a study of members of the {MADS} box gene family in oil palm ({E}laeis guineensis {J}acq.), a representative of the family {A}recaceae and order {A}recales, a key group of monocotyledons which has been unreported in previous phylogenetic reconstructions of the different recognized clades of {MADS} box genes. {I}n this study, 13 oil palm {MADS} box genes were identified and characterized. {T}hey were found to belong to five different subfamilies, namely, the previously defined {SQUAMOSA}, {AGAMOUS}, {AGAMOUS}-like2, {DEFICIENS}, and {GLOBOSA} groups. {G}enes belonging to each of these groups play a critical role in the determination of flower structure as defined by the {ABCDE} model. {T}he in planta expression profiles of the oil palm {MADS} box genes were studied by {RT}-{PCR} and phylogenetic sequence diversity within individual subfamilies was investigated by comparing their deduced protein sequences with those of other angiosperms. {M}ost of the oil palm sequences studied were observed to group with distinct supported clades within their subfamily. {S}ome unexpected groupings were observed between monocot sequences (including oil palm ones) of non-{P}oaceae origin, probably illustrating the importance of obtaining adequate taxon representation in monocot molecular phylogenies.},
