Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: CaBLIND|CaBL
• Gene Name: BLIND
• Genome:
• Species: Capsicum annuum

Functional Descriptions:

• CaBLIND|CaBL regulates axillary meristem initiation and transition to flowering in pepper.
• Double-mutant and expression analyses suggest that CaBLIND|CaBL functions independently of FASCICULATE, the pepper ortholog of SELF PRUNING in regulating sympodial growth, but is epistatic to FASCICULATE in controlling axillary meristem formation.
• CaBLIND|CaBL operates independently of CaREVOLUTA and CaLATERAL SUPPRESSOR in regulating axillary branching.
• Our results provide evidence of CaBLIND|CaBL’s conserved function with BL and RAX genes in regulating axillary meristem initiation early in development.
• CaBLIND|CaBL is co-opted to play a role in suppressing vegetative growth during the reproductive phase in pepper.
