High impact information on MAF1

 

Biological context of MAF1

  • In plants with reduced DNA methylation, expression of the five MADS AFFECTING FLOWERING (MAF) genes is repressed, suggesting that DNA methylation alters the expression of a trans-acting regulator common to FLC and members of the related MAF gene family [6].
  • The late-flowering phenotype of FLM over-expression is suppressed by the svp mutation, and an svp flm double mutant behaves like the single mutants [7].
 

Other interactions of MAF1

  • Overexpression studies demonstrate that MAF1 produces comparable effects to FLC, and likely has a similar function in the regulation of flowering [8].
