Appears in the following schemes


Protein function

Encodes a zinc finger transcription factor.

Phenotype

Single mutant:
knu single mutant does not display any flowering-time phenotype but shows temperature-dependent floral defects. knu single mutant has normal inflorescence at 16C but is male-sterile at 25C. [Payne et al., 2004]

Function:
May function as a transcriptional repressor of cellular proliferation that regulates floral determinacy and relative size of basal pattern elements along the proximo-distal axis of the developing gynoecium. [Data from UniProt]
