Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: PhDEF
• Gene Name: PhDEFICIENS
• Genome:
• Species: Petunia hybrida

Functional Descriptions:

• Cell layer–specific expression of the homeotic MADS-box transcription factor PhDEF contributes to modular petal morphogenesis in petunia.
• These mutants highlight the layer-specific roles of PhDEF during petal development,we explored the link between PhDEF and petal pigmentation, a well-characterized limb epidermal trait.
• We established that PhDEF directly binds to the AN2 terminator in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that PhDEF might regulate AN2 expression and therefore petal epidermis pigmentation.
