Abstract excerpt
TERMINAL FLOWER2 (TFL2) is the plant homologue of metazoan HETEROCHROMATIN PROTEIN1 (HP1) protein family. It is known that, unlike most HP1 proteins, TFL2 does not primarily localize to heterochromatin; instead it functions in regulation of specific genes in euchromatic regions. We show that the tfl2 mutant has a lower rate of auxin biosynthesis, resulting in low levels of auxin. In line with this, tfl2 mutants...
