A developmental switch sufficient for flower initiation in diverse plants. of outstanding interest Nature. 377:1995;495-500 Demonstrates that constitutive expression of LFY is sufficient to convert shoots into flowers and promote early flowering, not only in Arabidopsis but also in aspen trees. Provides evidence that AP1 may act downstream of LFY. Concludes that, unlike secondary shoot meristems, primary shoot meristems must achieve competence in order to respond to constitutive LFY activity.

Possible mechanisms by which CEN maintains indeterminacy by negatively regulating floral-meristem-identity genes are posed.
