Genetic Interactions That Regulate Inflorescence Development in Arabidopsis

Institute of Molecular Biology, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon 97403
In Arabidopsis, floral meristems arise in continuous succession directly on
the flanks of the inflorescence meristem. Thus, the pathways that regulate
inflorescence and floral meristem identity must operate both simultaneously
and in close spatial proximity. The TERMINAL FLOWER 1 (TFL1) gene of
Arabidopsis is required for normal inflorescence meristem function, and the
LEAFY (LFY), APETALA 1 (AP1), and APETALA 2 (AP2) genes are required for
normal floral meristem function. We present evidence that inflorescence
meristem identity is promoted by TFL1 and that floral meristem identity is
promoted by parallel developmental pathways, one defined by LFY and the
other defined by AP1/AP2. Our analysis suggests that the acquisition of
meristem identity during inflorescence development is mediated by
antagonistic interactions between TFL1 and LFY and between TFL1 and
AP1/AP2. Based on this study, we propose a simple model for the genetic
regulation of inflorescence development in Arabidopsis. This model is
discussed in relation to the proposed interactions between the
inflorescence and the floral meristem identity genes and in regard to other
genes that are likely to be part of the genetic hierarchy regulating the
establishment and maintenance of inflorescence and floral meristems.
