Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Medtr5g085860
• Gene Symbol: MtKNOX6
• Gene Name: Class I KNOTTED-like homeobox
• Genome:
• Species: Medicago truncatula

Functional Descriptions:

• Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the STM-like genes (MtKNOX1 and MtKNOX6), a BP-like gene (MtKNOX2), and a KNAT2/6-like gene (MtKNOX7) are grouped into Class I KNOX genes (MtKNOXI) in M. truncatula.
• Suggesting distinct roles of MtKNOX8 and MtKNOX1,2,6,7 proteins. These observations indicate that ectopic MtKNOXI activity is sufficient for increasing leaf complexity.
• Knockout of MtKNOX1/2/6/7 in M. truncatula did not affect leaf development, indicating that MtKNOXI genes are not involved in compound leaf patterning.
• Therefore, different subcellular localizations between MtKNOX1/2/6 and MtKNOX7 in single cells could be due to multiple regulatory mechanisms.
