Protein
MADS-box transcription factor 3
Organism
Oryza sativa subsp. japonica
Function
Probable transcription factor involved in the development of floral organs. Acts as C-class protein in association with MADS58. Involved in the control of lodicule number (whorl 2), stamen specification (whorl 3) and floral meristem determinacy (whorl 4), but not in the regulation of carpel morphogenesis. Plays a more predominant role in controlling lodicule development and in specifying stamen identity than MADS58.
