A LEAFY-like gene in the long-day plant, Silene coeli-rosa is dramatically up-regulated in evoked shoot apical meristems but does not complement the Arabidopsis lfy mutant.

Abstract excerpt

A LEAFY-like gene was cloned in the long-day (LD) plant, Silene coeli-rosa (ScLFY). The open reading frame spans 1452 bp encoding a putative protein of 483 amino acids. Amino acid homology to other LFYs is 43-55%; conserved and variable regions were similar to others. However, an intron (808 bp) not found in others occurred close to the N-terminal of the C1 domain. Known features of transcription factors...
