UFO: an Arabidopsis gene involved in both floral meristem and floral organ development.

The Plant cell - 1 May 1995

Levin J Z, Meyerowitz E M

Abstract excerpt

We describe the role of the UNUSUAL FLORAL ORGANS (UFO) gene in Arabidopsis floral development based on a genetic and molecular characterization of the phenotypes of nine ufo alleles. UFO is required for the proper identity of the floral meristem and acts in three different aspects of the process...
