Systematic analyses of the MIR172 family members of Arabidopsis define their distinct roles in regulation of APETALA2 during floral transition. by Diarmuid S Ó'Maoiléidigh, Annabel D van Driel, Anamika Singh, Qing Sang, Nolwenn Le Bec, Coral Vincent, Enric Bertran Garcia de Olalla, Alice Vayssières, Maida Romera Branchat, Edouard Severing, Rafael Martinez Gallegos, George Coupland

“…Through genome editing and detailed confocal microscopy, we show that the activity of miR172 at the shoot apex is encoded by 3 MIR172 genes, is critical for floral transition of the shoot meristem under noninductive photoperiods, and reduces accumulation of AP2 and TARGET OF EAT2 (TOE2), an AP2-LIKE TF, at the shoot meristem. Utilizing the genetic resources generated here, we show that the promotion of flowering by miR172 is enhanced by the MADS-domain TF FRUITFULL, which may facilitate long-term silencing of AP2-LIKE transcription, and that their activities are partially coordinated by the TF SQUAMOSA PROMOTER-BINDING-LIKE PROTEIN 15. …”
