Name | TERMINAL FLOWER 2 | Brief Description | like heterochromatin protein (LHP1) |
TAIR Computational Description | like heterochromatin protein (LHP1);(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Regulates the meristem response to light signals and the maintenance of inflorescence meristem identity. Influences developmental processes controlled by APETALA1. TFL2 silences specific genes within euchromatin but not genes positioned in heterochromatin. TFL2 protein localized preferentially to euchromatic regions and not to heterochromatic chromocenters. Involved in euchromatin organization. Required for epigenetic maintenance of the vernalized state. |
