Abstract excerpt
Communication between the meristem and lateral organs plays important roles in plant development. The TONGARI-BOUSHI1 (TOB1) gene that encodes a YABBY transcription factor is involved in the regulation of meristem maintenance and fate determination of the meristem in rice spikelets. TOB1 is likely to act non-cell autonomously on the meristem, because as this gene is expressed in the lateral organ primordia but...
