Other claims from this paper (8)
- Method / resource CorLFY cDNA clones were isolated from six Cornus species with different inflorescences.
- Observation CorLFY cDNAs were predicted to encode proteins of approximately 375 amino acids.
- Observation CorLFY was expressed in inflorescence and floral meristems, branch meristems, and developing floral organ primordia.
- Observation CorLFY was also expressed during late flower and inflorescence development and in bracts and developing leaves.
- Association Consistent CorLFY expression differences among inflorescence types were not detected.
- Mechanism The authors suggest major inflorescence shifts are not controlled by dramatic changes in CorLFY transcript accumulation.
- Mechanism Subtle differences in CorLFY transcripts may still underlie different inflorescence architectures.
- Mechanism Differences in CorLFY protein function or other regulators may support divergent development.
