A Mutation in the Arabidopsis TFL1 Gene Affects Inflorescence Meristem Development
S. Shannon and D. R. Meeks-Wagner
Institute of Molecular Biology, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon 97403
We present the initial phenotypic characterization of an Arabidopsis
mutation, terminal flower 1-1 (tfl1-1), that identifies a new genetic
locus, TFL1. The tfl1-1 mutation causes early flowering and limits the
development of the normally indeterminate inflorescence by promoting the
formation of a terminal floral meristem. Inflorescence development in
mutant plants often terminates with a compound floral structure consisting
of the terminal flower and one or two subtending lateral flowers. The
distal-most flowers frequently contain chimeric floral organs. Light
microscopic examination shows no structural aberrations in the vegetative
meristem or in the inflorescence meristem before the formation of floral
buttresses. The wild-type appearance of lateral flowers and observations of
double mutant combinations of tfl1-1 with the floral morphogenesis
mutations apetala 1-1 (ap1-1), ap2-1, and agamous (ag) suggest that the
tfl1-1 mutation does not affect normal floral meristems. Secondary flower
formation usually associated with the ap1-1 mutation is suppressed in the
terminal flower, but not in the lateral flowers, of tfl1-1 ap1-1 double
mutants. Our results suggest that tfl1-1 perturbs the establishment and
maintenance of the inflorescence meristem. The mutation lies on the top arm
of chromosome 5 approximately 2.8 centimorgans from the restriction
fragment length polymorphism marker 217.
