Two LEAFY homologs ILFY1 and ILFY2 control reproductive and vegetative developments in Isoetes L.

Abstract LEAFY (LFY) is a plant-specific transcription factor, which is found in algae and all land plants. LFY homologs exert ancestral roles in regulating cell division and obtain novel functions to control floral identity. Isoetes L. is an ancient genus of heterosporous lycophytes. However, chara...
