CRISPR manipulation of UFO gene reveals complex plant flowering dynamics

Summary by Phys.org

Humans have appreciated the beauty of flowers for centuries. Yet, flowers aren't just aesthetically pleasing. They also play a crucial role in plant reproduction. In all plants, a well-studied gene with a curious name, Unusual Floral Organs (UFO), orchestrates the flowering process. UFO expression hinges on another complex process called cis-regulation. And this one has remained a "black box" of plant biology research for years.
