Key Notes:

YABBY genes are plant-specific transcription factors.�
They regulate organ polarity, lamina expansion, and reproductive organ differentiation.�
While FIL, YAB2, YAB3, and YAB5 mainly function in vegetative organs (leaves, floral organs), CRC and INO are more specialized in reproductive organs.
