Figure 5. Roles of AS1–AS2, ICU2, and RFC3 in leaf development in A. thaliana. The AS1–AS2 complex and DNA replication-related factors ICU2 (or RFC3) act cooperatively to repress expression of the leaf abaxial determinant gene ETT/ARF3 and ARF4. Repression of ARFs is crucial for development of the adaxial domain of leaves and then formation of flat and symmetric leaves.
