The shape of produce is an important agronomic trait. The knowledge of the cellular regulation of organ shapes can be implemented in the improvement of a variety of crops. The plant-specific Ovate Family Proteins (OFPs) regulate organ shape in Arabidopsis and many crops including rice, tomato, and melon. Although OFPs were previously described as transcriptional repressors, recent data support a role for the family in organ shape regulation through control of subcellular localization of protein complexes. OFPs interact with TONNEAU1 RECRUITMENT MOTIF (TRMs) and together they regulate cell division patterns in tomato fruit development. OFPs also respond to changes in plant hormones and responses to stress. The OFP-TRM interaction may work in conjunction with additional shape regulators such as IQ67 Domain (IQD) proteins to modulate the response to tissue level cues as well as external stimuli and stressors to form reproducible organ shapes by regulating cytoskeleton activities.

即将发生的事情的形状：卵形家族蛋白调节植物器官的形状。

产品的形状是重要的农艺性状。器官形状的细胞调节的知识可以在多种作物的改良中实现。植物特有的卵形家族蛋白（OFPs）调节拟南芥和包括水稻，番茄和甜瓜在内的许多农作物的器官形状。尽管以前将OFPs描述为转录阻遏物，但最近的数据支持该家族通过控制蛋白复合物的亚细胞定位来调节器官形状。OFP与TONNEAU1招聘MOTIF（TRM）相互作用，共同调节番茄果实发育中的细胞分裂模式。OFPs还对植物激素的变化和对压力的反应作出反应。
