Outline of Final Research Achievements

Plants produce flowers for seed formation. Increase of flower number improves seed yields of crop plants. This study focuses on the molecular mechanisms on inhibitory mechanisms of flower initiation in shoot apical meristems controlled by developing seeds. We screened three mutants increased flower number of lateral branches. These mutants were deficient in chloroplast degradation and showed a stay green phenotype. These results indicate that flower number is closely related to leaf senescence.
