UniProt Comments
Probable transcription factor that promotes early floral meristem identity in synergy with APETALA1 and CAULIFLOWER. Is required subsequently for the transition of an inflorescence meristem into a floral meristem. Seems to be partially redundant to the function of APETALA1 and CAULIFLOWER in the up-regulation of LEAFY. Is also required for normal pattern of cell division, expansion and differentiation during morphogenesis of the silique. Probably not required for fruit elongation but instead is required to prevent ectopic activity of IND.
