Abstract
The development of the floral organs is specified by the combinations of th ree classes of gene for organ identity in the 'ABC' model. Recently, molecu lar genetic studies have shown this model is applicable to grass plants as well as most eudicots. Transcription factor complexes of ABC and homologous proteins form the molecular basis of the ABC model.
