MADS-box genes are important transcription factors in eukaryotes that are involved in regulating the growth and development of many plants. Jiaobai is a special aquatic vegetable formed through the stem expansion of Zizania latifolia infected by Ustilago esculenta and is wildly cultivated in Southea...
