LEAFY controls floral meristem identity in Arabidopsis
The first step in flower development is the generation of a floral meristem by the inflorescence meristem. We have analyzed how this process is affected by mutant alleles of the Arabidopsis gene LEAFY. We show that LEAFY interacts with another floral control gene, APETALA1, to promote the transition from inflorescence to floral meristem. We have cloned the LEAFY gene, and, consistent with the m...
متن کاملThe rice heterochronic gene SUPERNUMERARY BRACT regulates the transition from spikelet meristem to floral meristem.
Regulating the transition of meristem identity is a critical step in reproductive development. After the shoot apical meristem (SAM) acquires inflorescence meristem identity, it goes through a sequential transition to second- and higher-order meristems that can eventually give rise to floral organs. Despite ample information on the molecular mechanisms that control the transition from SAM to in...
متن کاملTAWAWA1, a regulator of rice inflorescence architecture, functions through the suppression of meristem phase transition.
Inflorescence structures result from the activities of meristems, which coordinate both the renewal of stem cells in the center and organ formation at the periphery. The fate of a meristem is specified at its initiation and changes as the plant develops. During rice inflorescence development, newly formed meristems acquire a branch meristem (BM) identity, and can generate further meristems or t...
متن کاملWFL, a wheat FLORICAULA/LEAFY ortholog, is associated with spikelet formation as lateral branch of the inflorescence meristem.
FLORICAULA (FLO) of Antirrhinum and LEAFY (LFY) of Arabidopsis encode plant-specific transcription factors, which are necessary and sufficient to specify floral meristem identity. We isolated WFL, a wheat FLO/LFY ortholog, and analyzed its expression pattern. RT-PCR analysis indicated that WFL is expressed predominantly in young spike. The WFL expression pattern during reproductive development ...
متن کاملThe floral organ number4 gene encoding a putative ortholog of Arabidopsis CLAVATA3 regulates apical meristem size in rice.
To understand the molecular mechanism regulating meristem development in the monocot rice (Oryza sativa), we describe here the isolation and characterization of three floral organ number4 (fon4) alleles and the cloning of the FON4 gene. The fon4 mutants showed abnormal enlargement of the embryonic and vegetative shoot apical meristems (SAMs) and the inflorescence and floral meristems. Likely du...
