    Also known as
    INCURVATA2; K21H1.14; K21H1_14
    Summary
    Encodes the putative catalytic subunit of the DNA polymerase alpha. Interacts with genes involved in chromatin-mediated cellular memory. ICU2 genetically interacts with TERMINAL FLOWER2, the ortholog of HETEROCHROMATIN PROTEIN1 of animals and yeasts, and with the Polycomb group (PcG) gene CURLY LEAF. A number of regulatory genes were derepressed in the icu2-1 mutant, including genes associated with flowering time, floral meristem, and floral organ identity. Mutant has curled, involute leaves and causes early flowering.
