Abstract
The formation of flowers is one of the main models for studying the regulatory mechanisms that
underlie plant development and evolution. Over the past three decades, extensive genetic and
molecular analyses have led to the identification of a large number of key floral regulators and to
detailed insights into how they control flower morphogenesis. In recent years, genome-wide
approaches have been applied to obtaining a global view of the gene regulatory networks
underlying flower formation. Furthermore, mathematical models have been developed that can
simulate certain aspects of this process and drive further experimentation. Here,wereview some
of the main findings made in the field of Arabidopsis thaliana flower development, with an
emphasis on recent advances. In particular, we discuss the activities of the floral organ identity
factors, which are pivotal for the specification of the different types of floral organs, and explore
the experimental avenues that may elucidate the molecular mechanisms and gene expression
programs through which these master regulators of flower development act.
