homeodomain transcription factor KNAT6, belonging to class I of KN transcription factor family (which also includes KNAT1 and KNAT2). Expression is increased in as and bop1 leaf mutants.

A member of class I knotted1-like homeobox gene family (together with KNAT1). Similar to the knotted1 (kn1) homeobox gene of maize. KNAT2 acts synergistically with cytokinins and antagonistically with ethylene based on ectopic expression studies in different mutant backgrounds and hormone treatments. In addition, KNAT2 is negatively regulated by AS and YABBY genes. KNAT2 is strongly expressed in the shoot apex of seedlings, while in mature plants the gene is primarily expressed in flowers and inflorescence stems.
A member of class I knotted1-like homeobox gene family (together with KNAT2). Similar to the knotted1 (kn1) homeobox gene of maize. Normally expressed in the peripheral and rib zone of shoot apical meristem but not in the leaf primordia. It is also expressed in the fourth floral whorl, in the region that would become style, particularly in the cell surrounding the transmitting tissue. No expression was detected in the first three floral whorls. Expression is repressed by auxin and AS1 which results in the promotion of leaf fate.
Class I knotted-like homeodomain protein that is required for shoot apical meristem (SAM) formation during embryogenesis and for SAM function throughout the lifetime of the plant. Functions by preventing incorporation of cells in the meristem center into differentiating organ primordia.
A member of Class II KN1-like homeodomain transcription factors (together with KNAT3 and KNAT5), with greatest homology to the maize knox1 homeobox protein. Expression regulated by light. Detected in all tissues examined, but most prominent in leaves and young siliques. Transient expression of GFP translational fusion protein suggests bipartite localization in nucleus and cytoplasm. KNAT4 promoter activity showed cell-type specific pattern along longitudinal root axis; GUS expression pattern started at the elongation zone, predominantly in the phloem and pericycle cells, extending to endodermis toward the base of the root.
A member of Class II KN1-like homeodomain transcription factors factors (together with KNAT3 and KNAT4), with greatest homology to the maize knox1 homeobox protein. Regulates photomorphogenic responses and represses late steps in gibberellin biosynthesis. KNAT5 promoter activity showed cell-type specific pattern along longitudinal root axis, primarily in the epidermis of the distal end of primary root elongation zone.
