The initial activation of homeotic genes is accomplished at least in part by the products of two earlier acting genes with overlapping functions. These are the floral meristem—identity genes LEAFY and APETALA1 . The requirements of LEAFY and APETALA1 activity vary for different homeotic genes.Read More
