Key message Floral meristem size is redundantly controlled by CLAVATA3 , AGAMOUS , and SUPERMAN in Arabidopsis . The proper regulation of floral meristem activity is key to the formation of optimally sized flowers with a fixed number of organs. In Arabidopsis thaliana , multiple regulators determine...
