Periodic Reporting for period 1 - PFIMDULA (Post-translational modifications during floral initiation: molecular dissection of the UFO-dependent LFY activation )

Issue: Why LEAFY (LFY), a transcriptional factor, activity require interaction with unusual floral organ (UFO), a Skp1-Cullin-F-box E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, to build flowers?Importance for society: Provide insights on the mechanism of LFY activation by UFO, a key step in...
