Fig. 8. Models representing the function of FZP during the development of rice spikelets. In wild-type plants, the inflorescence meristem (IM) generates branch meristems (BM) that in turn generate spikelet meristems (SM). Model 1, FZP acts to repress the formation of axillary meristems (AxM) from the SM and ensure that the SM acquires floral meristem (FM) identity. Model 2, FZP induces the transition from SM to FM identity. In fzp mutants, the transition to FM identity does not take place and ectopic AxMs behave as SMs.
