New members of the floral organ identity AGAMOUS pathway.
The Arabidopsis floral organ identity gene AGAMOUS (AG) specifies stamen and carpel development as well as floral determinacy. Recent reports suggest that the HUA1, HUA2, HEN1 and HEN2 genes function redundantly as components of the AG pathway. The HUA1, HUA2, HEN1 and HEN2 genes encode nuclear proteins that perhaps play a role in RNA metabolism. The HUA and HEN genes function not only on the AG pathway, but also in vegetative development.
