NCBI Protein Information
Developmental regulator, ULTRAPETALA
NCBI Summary
Encodes a novel Cys-rich protein with a B-box like domain that acts as a negative regulator of meristem cell accumulation in inflorescence and floral meristems as loss-of-function ult1 mutations cause inflorescence meristem enlargement, the production of extra flowers and floral organs, and a decrease in floral meristem determinacy. Acts opposite to CLF which represses AG, but preventing deposition of CLF repressive methylation marks.

UniProt Comments
Putative transcription factor that acts as a key negative regulator of cell accumulation in shoot and floral meristems. Negatively regulates the size of the WUSCHEL (WUS)-expressing organizing center in inflorescence meristems. May act by down-regulating expression of WUS.
