Abstract
Branching is an important agronomic and economic trait in cut chrysanthemums. The axillary meristem (AM) formation of the axillary buds of cut chrysanthemums has a decisive role in its branching characteristics. However, little is known about the regulation mechanism of axillary meristem formation in chrysanthemums at the molecular level. Members of the Homeobox gene family especially genes belonging to the class I KNOX branch play a key role in regulating the axillary bud growth and development processes of plants. In this study, three genes belonging to the class I KNOX branch, CmKNAT1, CmKNAT6, and CmSTM were cloned from chrysanthemums, and their functions in regulating axillary bud formation were examined. The subcellular localization test showed that these three KNOX genes were expressed in the nucleus, so all of them might function as transcription factors. The results of the expression profile analysis showed that these three KNOX genes were highly expressed in the AM formation stage of axillary buds. Overexpression of KNOX genes result in a wrinkled leaf phenotype in tobacco and Arabidopsis, which may be related to the excessive division of leaf cells, resulting in the proliferation of leaf tissue. Furthermore, overexpression of these three KNOX genes enhances the regeneration ability of tobacco leaves, indicating that these three KNOX genes may participate in the regulation of cell meristematic ability, thus promoting the formation of buds. In addition, the results of fluorescence quantitative testing showed that these three KNOX genes may promote the formation of chrysanthemum axillary buds by promoting the cytokinin pathway while inhibiting the auxin and gibberellin pathways. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that CmKNAT1, CmKNAT6, and CmSTM genes were involved in regulating axillary bud formation of Chrysanthemum × morifolium and preliminarily revealed the molecular mechanism of their regulation of AM formation. These findings may provide a theoretical basis and candidate gene resources for genetic engineering breeding of new varieties of cut chrysanthemums without lateral branches.

Abstract
Leaves of seed plants provide an attractive system to study the development and evolution of form. Leaves show varying degrees of margin complexity ranging from simple, as in Arabidopsis thaliana, to fully dissected into leaflets in the closely related species Cardamine hirsuta. Leaflet formation requires actions of Class I KNOTTED1-LIKE HOMEOBOX (KNOX1) and REDUCED COMPLEXITY (RCO) homeobox genes, which are expressed in the leaves of C. hirsuta but not A. thaliana. Evolutionary studies indicate that diversification of KNOX1 and RCO genes was repeatedly associated with increased leaf complexity. However, whether this gene combination represents a developmentally favored avenue for leaflet formation remains unknown, and the cell-level events through which the combined action of these genes drives leaflet formation are also poorly understood. Here we show, through a genetic screen, that when a C. hirsuta RCO transgene is expressed in A. thaliana, then ectopic KNOX1 expression in leaves represents a preferred developmental path for leaflet formation. Using time-lapse growth analysis, we demonstrate that KNOX1 expression in the basal domain of leaves leads to prolonged and anisotropic cell growth. This KNOX1 action, in synergy with local growth repression by RCO, is instrumental in generating rachises and petiolules, the linear geometrical elements, that bear leaflets in complex leaves. Our results show how the combination of cell-level growth analyses and genetics can help us understand how evolutionary modifications in expression of developmentally important genes are translated into diverse leaf shapes.

Abstract
Caucasian clover (Trifolium ambiguum M. Bieb.) is a strongly rhizomatous, low-crowned perennial leguminous and ground-covering grass. The species is resistant to cold, arid temperatures and grazing due to a well-developed underground rhizome system and a strong clonal reproduction capacity. KNOTTED1-LIKE HOMEOBOX (KNOX) genes are a family of plant-specific homeobox transcription factors with important roles in plant development. Preliminary transcriptome analysis enabled us to understand the gene expression in five different tissues, which helped us to screen the predetermined genes of the HB-KNOX family genes for the rhizome growth and development of Caucasian clover. The study identified 41 TaKNOX genes from the Caucasian clover transcriptome database. Gene length, MW and pl of TaKNOX family transcription factors varied, but the gene structure and motifs were relatively conserved in bioinformatics analysis. Phylogenetic analyses of Arabidopsis thaliana, soybean, Medicago truncatula and Caucasian clover were performed to study the evolutionary and functional relationships in various species. Prediction and verification of the subcellular localizations revealed the diverse subcellular localization of these 41 TaKNOX proteins. The expression profile of exogenous hormones showed that the TaKNOX gene showed multiple expression regulation patterns, and was involved in 6-BA, IAA and KT signaling pathways. Our results reveal the characteristics of the TaKNOX gene family, thus laying a foundation for further functional analysis of the KNOX family in Caucasian clover.

Abstract
Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is an important vegetable and is cultivated and consumed worldwide for its economic and medicinal values. Garlic cloves, the major reproductive and edible organs, are derived from the axillary meristems. KNOTTED-like homeobox (KNOX) proteins, such as SHOOT MERISTEM-LESS (STM), play important roles in axillary meristem formation and development. However, the KNOX proteins in garlic are still poorly known. Here, 10 AsKNOX genes, scattered on 5 of the 8 chromosomes, were genome-wide identified and characterized based on the newly released garlic genome. The typical conserved domains of KNOX proteins were owned by all these 10 AsKNOX homologs, which were divided into two Classes (Class I and Class II) based on the phylogenetic analysis. Prediction and verification of the subcellular localizations revealed the diverse subcellular localization of these 10 AsKNOX proteins. Cis-element prediction, tissue expression analysis, and expression profilings in responding to exogenous GA3 and 6-BA showed the potential involvement of AsKNOX genes in the gibberellin and cytokinin signaling pathways. Overall, the results of this work provided a better understanding of AsKNOX genes in garlic and laid an important foundation for their further functional studies.

Abstract
KNOTTED1-like homeobox (KNOX) genes serve important roles in meristem function and many developmental processes in all higher plants. In Arabidopsis, studies of KNOX genes especially among members of class II KNOX genes remain limited and functional data are largely lacking. In the present study, we established a reproducible protocol that is important for genetic studies of KNOX genes using Arabidopsis insertional mutants. This protocol contains a reproducible and serial procedure containing detailed and step-by-step laboratory and field works covering all experiment steps from the screening of homozygous mutant lines to the KNOX expression analysis using qRT-PCR in a single paper. The troubleshooting and challenges that might occur are also presented and discussed. T-DNA insertion mutants for all Arabidopsis KNOX genes (except for knat4) were isolated based on kanamycin screening, phenotype selection, and PCR genotyping. Surprisingly, the insertions resulted in strong repression of the respective KNOX genes. However, no gene suppression was observed for the positively selected knat5 mutant. Moreover, qRT-PCR was effective for transcript analysis among the knox mutant samples. The use of different relative expression quantification produces a similar indication of expression level. Overall, the proposed procedure is highly effective for expression studies of KNOX genes in Arabidopsis mutants and will serve as a fundamental work protocol to open opportunities for genetic studies of genes involving insertional mutants in Arabidopsis.

Abstract
Conifers are a group of woody plants with an enormous economic and ecological importance. Breeding programs are necessary to select superior varieties for planting, but they have many limitations due to the biological characteristics of conifers. Somatic embryogenesis (SE) and de novo organogenesis (DNO) from in vitro cultured tissues are two ways of plant mass propagation that help to overcome this problem. Although both processes are difficult to achieve in conifers, they offer advantages like a great efficiency, the possibilities to cryopreserve the embryogenic lines, and the ability of multiplying adult trees (the main bottleneck in conifer cloning) through DNO. Moreover, SE and DNO represent appropriate experimental systems to study the molecular bases of developmental processes in conifers such as embryogenesis and shoot apical meristem (SAM) establishment. Some of the key genes regulating these processes belong to the WOX and KNOX homeobox gene families, whose function has been widely described in Arabidopsis thaliana. The sequences and roles of these genes in conifers are similar to those found in angiosperms, but some particularities exist, like the presence of WOXX, a gene that putatively participates in the establishment of SAM in somatic embryos and plantlets of Pinus pinaster.

Abstract
We report and discuss the results of a quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis of the expression patterns of seven three amino acid loop extension (TALE) homeobox genes (four KNOTTED-like homeobox (KNOX) and three BEL1-like homeobox (BELL) genes) identified after next generation sequencing (NGS) and assembly of the sporophyte and gametophyte transcriptomes of the endangered fern species Vandenboschia speciosa. Among the four KNOX genes, two belonged to the KNOX1 class and the other two belonged to the KNOX2 class. Analysis of the deduced amino acid sequences supported the typical domain structure of both types of TALE proteins, and the homology to TALE proteins of mosses, lycophytes, and seed plant species. The expression analyses demonstrate that these homeodomain proteins appear to have a key role in the establishment and development of the gametophyte and sporophyte phases of V. speciosa lifecycle, as well as in the control of the transition between both phases. Vandenboschia speciosa VsKNAT3 (a KNOX2 class protein) as well as VsBELL4 and VsBELL10 proteins have higher expression levels during the sporophyte program. On the contrary, one V. speciosa KNOX1 protein (VsKNAT6) and one KNOX2 protein (VsKNAT4) seem important during the development of the gametophyte phase. TALE homeobox genes might be among the key regulators in the gametophyte-to-sporophyte developmental transition in regular populations that show alternation of generations, since some of the genes analyzed here (VsKNAT3, VsKNAT6, VsBELL4, and VsBELL6) are upregulated in a non-alternating population in which only independent gametophytes are found (they grow by vegetative reproduction outside of the range of sporophyte distribution). Thus, these four genes might trigger the vegetative propagation of the gametophyte and the repression of the sexual development in populations composed of independent gametophytes. This study represents a comprehensive identification and characterization of TALE homeobox genes in V. speciosa, and gives novel insights about the role of these genes in fern development.

Abstract
In Primula vulgaris outcrossing is promoted through reciprocal herkogamy with insect-mediated cross-pollination between pin and thrum form flowers. Development of heteromorphic flowers is coordinated by genes at the S locus. To underpin construction of a genetic map facilitating isolation of these S locus genes, we have characterised Oakleaf, a novel S locus-linked mutant phenotype. We combine phenotypic observation of flower and leaf development, with classical genetic analysis and next-generation sequencing to address the molecular basis of Oakleaf. Oakleaf is a dominant mutation that affects both leaf and flower development; plants produce distinctive lobed leaves, with occasional ectopic meristems on the veins. This phenotype is reminiscent of overexpression of Class I KNOX-homeodomain transcription factors. We describe the structure and expression of all eight P. vulgaris PvKNOX genes in both wild-type and Oakleaf plants, and present comparative transcriptome analysis of leaves and flowers from Oakleaf and wild-type plants. Oakleaf provides a new phenotypic marker for genetic analysis of the Primula S locus. We show that none of the Class I PvKNOX genes are strongly upregulated in Oakleaf leaves and flowers, and identify cohorts of 507 upregulated and 314 downregulated genes in the Oakleaf mutant.
