Transcriptional repressor that regulates multiple aspects of plant growth and development through the regulation of BEL1-LIKE (BLH) and KNOX TALE (KNAT) homeodomain transcription factors. Expressed in roots, rosette and cauline leaves, shoots, stems, flower buds and siliques. No visible phenotype under normal growth conditions. Plants over-expressing OFP8 show flat, thick and cyan leaves, and enhanced apical dormancy.
