The leafy forest, and the liquid main,
Extends thy uncontroul’d and boundless reign. Dryd.Her leafy arms with such extent were spread,
That hosts of birds, that wing the liquid air,
Perch’d in the boughs. John Dryden, Flower and Leaf.So when some swelt’ring travellers retire
To leafy shades, near the cool sunless verge
Of Paraba, Brasilian stream; her tail
A grisly hydra suddenly shoots forth. Philips.
Wikipedia
Leafy
LEAFY (abbreviated LFY) is a plant gene that causes groups of undifferentiated cells called meristems to develop into flowers instead of leaves with associated shoots.LEAFY is involved in floral meristem identity. LEAFY encodes a plant-specific transcription factor, is found in all land plants and in charophytes and one of its exons have been used extensively in phylogenetic work on spermatophytes. When the gene is overexpressed, the plant is less sensitive to environmental signals and flowers earlier.The LEAFY protein has two conserved domains: the DNA binding domain, a Helix-Turn-Helix motif buried inside a unique 7-helix fold and a Sterile Alpha Motif. It binds DNA as a dimer and its binding site has been identified both in vivo and in vitro.
