Lateral organ boundaries (LOB) domain family protein
Curator Summary
Encodes a protein containing a LOB domain that is expressed in embryos, flower primordium and lateral floral organ boundaries. Overexpression is correlated with activation of STM and KNAT1 and down regulation of PIN1 and reduced auxin transport levels. Ectopic expression in plants results in premature termination of the shoot apical meristem and small, lobed leaves.
