Abstract excerpt
The Arabidopsis CURLY LEAF (CLF) gene is required to repress transcription of the class C gene AGAMOUS (AG) in whorls 1 and 2 of flowers and also in vegetative organs. CLF encodes a protein with homology to the product of the Drosophila Polycomb-group gene Enhancer of zeste [E(z)], which is involved in embyogenesis. In this study, we isolated three petunia CLF-like genes (PhCLF1, PhCLF2 and PhCLF3) based on the...
