(KNU) plays an important role in the termination of floral meristem activity, a process that is
crucial for preventing the overgrowth of flowers. The KNU gene is activated in floral
meristems by the floral organ identity factor AGAMOUS (AG), and it has been shown that
both AG and KNU act in floral meristem control by directly repressing the stem cell regulator
WUSCHEL (WUS), which leads to a loss of stem cell activity. When we re-examined the …
