  • Title: Molecular Mechanisms of Floral Boundary Formation in Arabidopsis.
    Author: Yu H, Huang T.
    Journal: Int J Mol Sci; 2016 Mar 02; 17(3):317. PubMed ID: 26950117.
    Abstract:
    Boundary formation is a crucial developmental process in plant organogenesis. Boundaries separate cells with distinct identities and act as organizing centers to control the development of adjacent organs. In flower development, initiation of floral primordia requires the formation of the meristem-to-organ (M-O) boundaries and floral organ development depends on the establishment of organ-to-organ (O-O) boundaries. Studies in this field have revealed a suite of genes and regulatory pathways controlling floral boundary formation. Many of these genes are transcription factors that interact with phytohormone pathways. This review will focus on the functions and interactions of the genes that play important roles in the floral boundaries and discuss the molecular mechanisms that integrate these regulatory pathways to control the floral boundary formation.
