    Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; rosids; malvids; Brassicales; Brassicaceae; Camelineae; Arabidopsis
    Also known as
    F17F8.16; UNUSUAL FLORAL ORGANS
    Summary
    Required for the proper identity of the floral meristem. Involved in establishing the whorled pattern of floral organs, in the control of specification of the floral meristem, and in the activation of APETALA3 and PISTILLATA. UFO is found at the AP3 promoter in a LFY-dependent manner, suggesting that it works with LFY to regulate AP3 expression. UFO may also promote the ubiquitylation of LFY.

    3. This study suggests that UFO and LFY are jointly required in the inflorescence meristem to both promote floral meristem development and inhibit, in a non-cell autonomous manner, growth of the bract.
