Class IKNOTTED-like homeobox (KNOXI) genes are critical for the maintenance of the shoot apical meristem. The expression domain ofKNOXIis regulated byASYMMETRIC LEAVES1/ROUGHSHEATH2/PHANTASTICA(ARP) genes, which are associated with leaf morphology. In the inverted repeat-lacking clade (IRLC) of Fabaceae, the orthologs ofLEAFY(LFY) function in place ofKNOXIto regulate compound leaf development. Here, we characterized loss-of-function mutants ofARP(PHAN) andSHOOTMERISTEMLESS(STM)-andBREVIPEDICELLUS(BP)-like KNOXIin the model IRLC legume speciesMedicago truncatula. The function ofARPgenes is species specific. The repression ofSTM/BP-like KNOXIgenes in leaves is not mediated byPHAN, and no suppression ofPHANbySTM/BP-like KNOXIgenes was observed either, indicating thatSTM/BP-like KNOXIgenes are uncoupled fromPHANinM. truncatula. Furthermore, comparative analyses of phenotypic output in response to ectopic expression ofKNOXIand theM. truncatula LFYortholog,SINGLE LEAFLET1(SGL1), reveal thatKNOXIandSGL1regulate parallel pathways in leaf development. We propose thatSGL1probably functions in a stage-specific manner in the regulation of the indeterminate state of developing leaves inM. truncatula.
