‘Organ’ising Floral Organ Development
PlantsFlowers are plant structures characteristic of the phylum Angiosperms composed of organs thought to have emerged from homologous structures to leaves in order to specialize in a distinctive function: reproduction.

UFO: An Arabidopsis Gene Involved in Both Floral Meristem and Floral Organ Development [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 1995 We describe the role of the UNUSUAL FLORAL ORGANS (UFO) gene in Arabidopsis floral development based on a genetic and molecular characterization of the phenotypes of nine ufo alleles. UFO is required for the proper identity of the floral meristem and acts in three different aspects of the process that distinguishes flowers from shoots.

Overexpression of SlOFP20 affects floral organ and pollen development [PDF]
Horticulture Research, 2019 AbstractTheOVATEgene was initially identified in tomato and serves as a key regulator of fruit shape. There are 31 OFP members in the tomato genome. However, their roles in tomato growth and reproductive development are largely unknown. Here, we cloned theOFPtranscription factorSlOFP20.

Interactions between FLORAL ORGAN NUMBER4 and floral homeotic genes in regulating rice flower development [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2017 The floral meristem (FM) is self-maintaining at the early stages of flower development, but it is terminated when a fixed number of floral organs are produced. The FLORAL ORGAN NUMBER4 (FON4; also known as FON2) gene, an ortholog of Arabidopsis CLAVATA3 (CLV3), is required for regulating FM size and determinacy in rice.

New clothes for the jasmonic acid receptor COI1: delayed abscission, meristem arrest and apical dominance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 In a screen for delayed floral organ abscission in Arabidopsis, we have identified a novel mutant of CORONATINE INSENSITIVE 1 (COI1), the F-box protein that has been shown to be the jasmonic acid (JA) co-receptor.

Heterochronic developmental shifts underlie floral diversity within Jaltomata (Solanaceae)
EvoDevo, 2017 Background Heterochronic shifts during mid- to late stages of organismal development have been proposed as key mechanisms generating phenotypic diversity.

BMC Genomics, 2023 Background Lonicera japonica Thunb. is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. Medicinal L. japonica mainly consists of dried flower buds and partially opened flowers, thus flowers are an important quality indicator.

Mutation at the tomato EXCESSIVE NUMBER OF FLORAL ORGANS (ENO) locus impairs floral meristem development, thus promoting an increased number of floral organs and fruit size [PDF]
Plant Science, 2015 A novel tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) mutant affected in reproductive development, excessive number of floral organs (eno), is described in this study. The eno plants yielded flowers with a higher number of floral organs in the three innermost floral whorls and larger fruits than those found in wild-type plants.

Unraveling the Developmental and Genetic Mechanisms Underpinning Floral Architecture in Proteaceae
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Proteaceae are a basal eudicot family with a highly conserved floral groundplan but which displays considerable variation in other aspects of floral and inflorescence morphology.
