| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Morphogenesis of organisms is regulated by various types of proteins. Among such regulatory proteins, transcription factors constitute a major class of proteins that turn on and off gene expression. CUC2 is a transcription factor required for normal development of various plant organs including leaves and fruits. We investigated the function of CUC2 in detail using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana (thale cress), and found mechanisms that confer different functions in development of the two organ types.
