Abstract excerpt
The homologous transcription factors FLORICAULA of Antirrhinum and LEAFY of Arabidopsis share conserved roles in flower meristem identity and floral patterning. While roles for FLORICAULA/LEAFY homologs in flower development have been demonstrated in numerous dicots, little is known about the fun...
