Journal ArticleDOI
Inflorescence Commitment and Architecture in Arabidopsis
TL;DR: The Antirrhinum gene CENTRORADIALIS and the Arabidopsis gene TERMINAL FLOWER 1 (TFL1) were shown to be homologous, which suggests that a common mechanism underlies indeterminacy in these plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
A single amino acid converts a repressor to an activator of flowering.
TL;DR: The results suggest that TFL1 and FT are highly conserved in biochemical function and that they act as repressors or activators of flowering through discrimination of structurally related interactors by a single residue.
Journal ArticleDOI
A common mechanism controls the life cycle and architecture of plants
Oliver J. Ratcliffe,Iraida Amaya,Coral Vincent,Steven J. Rothstein,Rosemary Carpenter,Enrico Coen,Desmond Bradley +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that TERMINAL FLOWER 1 participates in a common mechanism underlying major shoot apical phase transitions, rather than there being unrelated mechanisms which regulate each specific transition during the life cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of inflorescence architecture in Antirrhinum
Desmond Bradley,Rosemary Carpenter,Lucy Copsey,Coral Vincent,Steven J. Rothstein,Steven J. Rothstein,Enrico Coen +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that centroradialis is expressed in the inflorescence apex a few days after floral induction, and interacts with the floral-meristem-identity gene floricaula to regulate flower position and morphology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Separation of shoot and floral identity in Arabidopsis.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the wild-type pattern of TERMINAL FLOWER 1 and floral meristem identity gene expression depends on the relative timing of their upregulation.
