The paper also describes cell division patterns in the M-O and O-O boundaries of initiating sepal primordia in wildtype flowers. These boundaries contain actively dividing cells at very early stages of sepal development.

The cup mutant has fusions of a much broader range of organ types compared to nam or cuc1 cuc2 mutants, indicating that the three species have different levels of redundancy among this class of genes. The authors also report that CUP interacts with a TCP transcription factor, whose developmental function is currently unknown.

This work reveals the functional importance of auxin transport in defining the spatial expression patterns of the boundary-specific genes.

Torres-Ruiz The gene ENHANCER OF PINOID controls cotyledon development in the Arabidopsis embryo Development 132 2005 4063 4074 The authors identified a mutation in a novel gene, ENHANCER OF PINOID (ENP). The enp mutation causes complete lack of cotyledons when combined with mutations in PINOID (PID), and this phenotype is associated with abnormal polar localization of the PIN1 protein, a facilitator of auxin transport. The results indicate that ENP acts in concert with PID to correctly localize PIN1 and hence to provide the normal pattern of auxin accumulation.

They further indicate that miR164c controls petal number through the accumulation of CUC1 and CUC2 transcripts. Comparisons of single and double mutants of miR164c and miR164b reveal that individual miR164-encoding genes have different functions.

Fletcher BLADE-ON-PETIOLE1 encodes a BTB/POZ domain protein required for leaf morphogenesis in Arabidopsis thaliana Plant Cell Physiol 45 2004 1361 1370 This paper reports the cloning of the BLADE ON PETIOLE1 (BOP1) gene, which is required to repress meristem activity at the base of cotyledons, leaves and some floral organs. BOP1 encodes a homolog of the regulatory protein NPR1, which is involved in disease resistance. BOP1 expression is detected in a very narrow region that immediately flanks the M-O boundary of shoot organs.
43. M. Norberg, M. Holmlund, and O. Nilsson The BLADE ON PETIOLE genes act redundantly to control the growth and development of lateral organs Development 132 2005 2203 2213 The authors demonstrate that the NPR1 homologs BOP1 and BOP2 are functionally redundant genes. Single mutants of BOP1 and BOP2 null alleles only show a mild defect in organ formation, the double mutant shows strong organ defects comparable to those of bop1-1, which carries a putative dominant negative allele. Besides their roles in repressing meristem activity at the organ base, BOP1 and BOP2 are required to repress bract formation from the base of flower pedicels.

The authors demonstrate that, like NPR1, BOP2 is localized to both the nucleus and cytoplasm, and interacts with the TGA transcription factor PERIANTHIA (PAN). bop1 bop2 and pan mutants share a pentamerous arrangement of first whorl floral organs, suggesting that BOP1/BOP2 and PAN act in the same pathway.

The authors show that the ra1 gene encodes a zinc-finger protein that is related to Arabidopsis SUP and is expressed in a boundary domain at the base of spikelet-pair meristems. Through mosaic analysis, they also show that the activity of ra1 is cell non-autonomous. The expression patterns of ra1 orthologs in other grass species that display branching patterns that differ from those of maize suggest that the regulation of ra1 expression might have played an important role in maize domestication and grass evolution.

Careful expression studies indicate that transcription of PTL occurs in the sepal boundary but not in early petal primordia, suggesting that a PTL-dependent signal from the boundary influences proper petal development.
