FLORICAULA/LEAFY (FLO/LFY) genes encode a plant specific transcription factor family that controlling floral fate of reproductive phase. [1] In the plant model system Arabidopsis thaliana , ‘’LFY’’ also acts upstream of floral homeotic genes to modulate organ identity. [2] LFY activates the organ identity genes by binding to promoter regions of floral organ identity genes. LFY can directly bind to the promoter to APELATA1 (AP1), while co-regulators UNUSUAL FLORAL ORGANS (UFO) [3] and WUSCHEL (WUS)[4] are required for increment of binding affinity to promoter regions of APELATA3 (AP3) and AGAMOUS (AG), respectively. The exact mechanism how LFY binds to these promoters has yet to be well elucidated until the first structure report about and [5] . Among land plants, FLO/LFY homologs share a highly conserved DNA binding region that a hypothesis claimed substitution in this domain might result in the functional divergence[6] . Recently, a new study (ref 7) provided new insights of structural basis of LEAFY evolution by changing DNA binding activity[7].
