Protein function
Encodes a SBP-box transcription factor.
Phenotype
Single mutant: spl8 single mutant does not display any flowering-time phenotype.
[Unte et al., 2003] Remarks: spl8 single mutant shows altered pollen sac development.
[Unte et al., 2003] Remarks: SPL8 seems to be involved in GA signaling.
[Zhang et al., 2007] Function:Trans-acting factor that binds specifically to the consensus nucleotide sequence 5 -TNCGTACAA-3 . Binds specifically to the 5 -GTAC-3 core sequence. Involved in development and floral organogenesis. Required for ovule differentiation, pollen production, filament elongation, seed formation and siliques elongation. Also seems to play a role in the formation of trichomes on sepals. May positively modulate gibberellin (GA) signaling in flower.
