Plant genetics is the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity specifically in plants. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is generally considered a field of biology and botany , but intersects frequently with many other life sciences and is strongly linked with the study of information systems .
Two-component systems are well-integrated into developmental signaling pathways in plants, but the genes probably originated from lateral gene transfer from chloroplasts. [3] An example is the chloroplast sensor kinase (CSK) gene in Arabidopsis thaliana , derived from chloroplasts but now integrated into the nuclear genome.

Systems biology is the computational and mathematical analysis and modeling of complex biological systems.It is a biology-based interdisciplinary field of study that focuses on complex interactions within biological systems, using a holistic approach (holism instead of the more traditional reductionism) to biological research.
The GUS reporter system (GUS: β-glucuronidase) is a reporter gene system, particularly useful in plant molecular biology [1] and microbiology. [2] Several kinds of GUS reporter gene assay are available, depending on the substrate used.
The miRNA genes are also much more spread out in the genome than those in animals, where they are found clustered. It has been proposed that these miRNA families have expanded by duplications of chromosomal regions. [77] Many miRNA genes involved in regulation of plant development have been found to be quite conserved between plants studied.
ABC model of flower development guided by three groups of homeotic genes.. The ABC model of flower development is a scientific model of the process by which flowering plants produce a pattern of gene expression in meristems that leads to the appearance of an organ oriented towards sexual reproduction, a flower.
Specifically, a style-expressed T2/S-RNase gene and pollen-expressed F-box genes are now implicated in causing SI among the members of Rubiaceae, [12] Rutaceae, [13] and Cactaceae. [14] Therefore, other mechanisms of SI are thought to be recently derived in eudicots plants, in some cases relatively recently.
