Abstract: The classical ABC model illustrated the molecular mechanism of floral development, and explained the floral organ mutants of homeotic gene. Then, the ABC model was expanded to ABCDE model based on the functions of these genes and proteins for floral organ. Recently, the quartet model was proposed in interaction of proteins. These provided an important theory for the network of floral development.
