Appears in the following schemes


Protein function

Encodes an homeodomain-containing transcription factor.

Phenotype

Single mutant:
pnf single mutant does not display any phenotype. [Smith et al., 2004]

Multiple mutant:
pny;pnf multiple mutant has a much longer plastochron and develops inflorescences that fails to produce flowers. [Smith et al., 2004]

Remarks:
Normal flower development of pnf;pny double mutant can be restored by either overexpressing LEAFY or suppressing TFL1 expression. [Jaeger et al., 2013][Kanrar et al., 2008]

Function:
Required for specifying floral primordia and establishing early internode patterning events during inflorescence development. [Data from UniProt]
