NCBI Protein Information
POX (plant homeobox) family protein
NCBI Summary
Mutant has additional lateral organs and phyllotaxy defect. Encodes a homeodomain transcription factor. Has sequence similarity to the Arabidopsis ovule development regulator Bell1. Binds directly to the AGAMOUS cis-regulatory element. Its localization to the nucleus is dependent on the coexpression of either STM or BP.

UniProt Comments
Transcription factor that is involved in the preservation of the spiral phyllotactic arrangement leading to a regular pattern of organ initiation. Required for maintenance of stem cell fate in the shoot apical meristem, and is essential for specifying floral primordia and establishing early internode patterning events during inflorescence development. Acts as transcription repressor of AG expression in floral and inflorescence meristems. Is also responsive of the nuclear import of SHOOT MERISTEMLESS (STM). In the fruit, plays a central role in patterning by negatively regulating SHP expression in order to prevent replum cells from adopting a valve margin cell fate.
