DESCRIPTION:Plant reproductive development starts after the pl
 ant perceives several external and endogenous sign
 als. I will illustrate the journey of plant reprod
 uctive development from the induction of the repro
 ductive phase to the development of the floral org
 ans. During the vegetative phase\, multiple sets o
 f leaves originate from the meristem. Subsequently
 \, a complex network of genes determines the trans
 formation within a meristem that gives rise to the
  reproductive organs. Many years of research have 
 elucidated key regulatory genes involved in this p
 rocess. We are now using the knowledge we have of 
 these genes to investigate their evolutionary hist
 ory. We use transgenic approaches to study the fun
 ction of closely-related genes from different spec
 ies to characterize how their functional abilities
  have changed through time. The ultimate aim is to
  understand how the complex regulatory network tha
 t controls plant development has originated.
