Mutant has additional lateral organs and phyllotaxy defect. Encodes a homeodomain transcription factor. Has sequence similarity to the Arabidopsis ovule development regulator Bell1. Binds directly to the AGAMOUS cis-regulatory element. Its localization to the nucleus is dependent on the coexpression of either STM or BP.
