    Also known as
    AGAMOUS-like 27; AGL27; FLM; FLOWERING LOCUS M; MADS AFFECTING FLOWERING 1
    Summary
    MADS domain protein - flowering regulator that is closely related to FLC. Deletion of this locus in Nd ecotype is correlated with earlier flowering in short days suggesting function as a negative regulator of flowering.
