The LEAFY target LMI1 is a meristem identity regulator and acts together with LEAFY to regulate expression of CAULIFLOWER
Abstract
The timing of the switch from vegetative to reproductive development is crucial for species survival. The plant-specific transcription factor and meristem identity regulator LEAFY (LFY) controls this switch in Arabidopsis, in part via the direct activation of two other meristem identity genes, APETALA1 (AP1) and CAULIFLOWER(CAL). We recently identified five new direct LFY targets as candidates for the missing meristem identity regulators that act downstream of LFY. Here, we demonstrate that one of these, the class I homeodomain leucine-zipper transcription factor LMI1, is a meristem identity regulator. LMI1 acts together with LFY to activate CAL expression. The interaction between LFY, LMI1 and CAL resembles a feed-forward loop transcriptional network motif. LMI1 has additional LFY-independent roles in the formation of simple serrated leaves and in the suppression of bract formation. The temporal and spatial expression of LMI1 supports a role in meristem identity and leaf/bract morphogenesis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
