Homeotic mutants, that is, mutants with a normal organ in a place where an organ of another
type is typically found, were first recognized in plants. The earliest descriptions of mutants in …

EREBP genes form a large multigene family, and they play a variety of roles throughout the
plant life cycle: from being key regulators of several developmental processes, like floral …

The early development of the flower of Arabidopsis thaliana is described from initiation until
the opening of the bud. The morphogenesis, growth rate, and surface structure of floral …

… Sequence alignments were performed with Multalign [KJ Fryxell and EM Meyerowitz, J. Mol.
… Schaller for helpful discussions and the members of the Meyerowitz lab for critical reading of …

The first step in flower development is the generation of a floral meristem by the inflorescence
meristem. We have analyzed how this process is affected by mutant alleles of the …

Mutations in the homeotic gene agamous of the plant Arabidopsis cause the transformation
of the floral sex organs. Cloning and sequence analysis of agamous suggest that it encodes …

The shoot apical meristem is responsible for above-ground organ initiation in higher plants,
accomplishing continuous organogenesis by maintaining a pool of undifferentiated cells and …
