Source Description
TAIREncodes a putative transcriptional regulator that is involved in the vegetative to reproductive phase transition. Expression is regulated by MIR156b. SPL activity nonautonomously inhibits initiation of new leaves at the shoot apical meristem.
UniProtTrans-acting factor that binds specifically to the consensus nucleotide sequence 5'-TNCGTACAA-3'. {ECO:0000250}.

  1. SPL9 has a role in shoot maturation.
    [PMID: 18278578]
  2. Data demonstrate that miR156 is a quantitative, rather than spatial, modulator of SPL9 expression in leaf primordia and that SPL9 activity nonautonomously inhibits initiation of new leaves at the shoot apical meristem.
    [PMID: 18492871]
  3. One of the miR156 targets, SPL9, negatively regulates anthocyanin accumulation.
    [PMID: 21487097]
  4. Our results uncover a molecular mechanism for plant adaptation to the environment through the miR156-SPLs-DFR pathway, which coordinates development and abiotic stress tolerance.
    [PMID: 25345491]
  5. Analysis of plants carrying microRNA miR156-resistant forms of SQUAMOSA PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN LIKE (SPL) genes showed that wall ingrowth deposition was increased in SPL9-group.
    [PMID: 28082719]
  6. Results suggest the mechanism by which miR156 and miR157 regulate gene expression of SQUAMOSA PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN-LIKE (SPL) transcription factors SPL9 and SPL13.
