... that FZP is required to prevent the formation of axillary meristems within the spikelet meristem and permit the subsequent establishment of floral meristem identity. The FZP gene was isolated by transposon tagging. FZP encodes an ERF transcription factor and is the rice ortholog of the maize BD1 gene...

... of meristem identities is retarded and sometimes even reversed. In addition, in rgo1; ids1 double mutants extra branching is observed in spikelet pair meristems, a meristem that is not affected by mutants of either gene individually. These data suggest a model for control of meristem identity and determinacy...

... the establishment of floral meristem identity, little is known about its maintenance. Previous experiments with leafy heterozygous plants and agamous mutants grown in conditions that reduce the floral inductive stimulus have shown that both genes are required to prevent reversion of floral to inflorescence...

Analysis of the expression of the Impatiens homologues of the meristem identity genes floricaula and squamosa indicates that a change in floricaula transcription is not associated with the establishment...
