Arabidopsis floral homeotic genes are members of the MADS box gene family, while homeotic genes in Drosophila are members of the homeobox gene family. Polycomb gene family members regulate the expression of these diverse homeotic genes in Arabidopsis and Drosophila. How can Polycomb genes regulate the expression of two sets of homeotic genes that are extremely different?
