UniProt Comments
Transcription repressor subunit of the SEU-LUG transcriptional corepressor of the C class floral homeotic gene AGAMOUS during the early stages of floral meristem development. Is part of the A class cadastral complex that define the boundaries between the A and C class homeotic genes expression and function. Interacts together with APETALA2 and SEUSS to repress AGAMOUS expression. Also plays a role in ovule and pollen development (PubMed:11782418, PubMed:15277686, PubMed:7743940). Implicated in embryo and floral development (PubMed:18390806). Involved in post-synthesis cell wall modifications necessary for mucilage extrusion from seeds upon imbibition, probably by promoting the expression of genes required for mucilage maturation (PubMed:21362134, PubMed:21402796). Involved in vegetative leaf morphogenesis at later stages of leaf development by restricting cell expansion during leaf growth (PubMed:15208345). Regulates the maintenance on leaf polarity and meristem activity as well as the initiation of embryonic shoot apical meristem (SAM) development (PubMed:19837869).
