Plants carrying the floricaula (flo) mutation cannot make the transition from inflorescence to floral meristems and have indeterminate shoots in place of flowers. The flo-613 allele carries a Tam3 transposon insertion, which allowed the isolation of the flo locus. The flo gene encodes a putative protein (FLO) containing a proline-rich N-terminus and a highly acidic region. In situ hybridization shows that the flo...
