Deficiens Agamous Related Proteins (DARPs) are a class of proteins that play crucial roles in various biological processes. These proteins are involved in the regulation of plant development and flowering, specifically in the control of floral organ identity and sex determination. Synonyms for DARPs include Deficiens-like proteins (DEFL), Agamous-like proteins (AGL), and related floral homeotic proteins. These synonyms emphasize the conserved functions and structural similarities between DARPs and other proteins that are part of the MADS-box family. Understanding the diverse roles of DARPs and their synonyms is essential for unraveling the intricate mechanisms underlying plant growth, reproduction, and evolution.
