Encodes a nuclear localized member of the MYB family of transcriptional regulators that is involved in negative regulation of flowering. It is expressed in vascular tissues and at low levels in the shoot apex during the transition to flowering. Loss of function mutations are early flowering.EFM is involved in the autonomous, thermosensory and GA pathways and expression is directly regulated by SVP. EFM interacts with JMJD5 to repress FT expression.
