Abstract excerpt
We are using trichome (hair) morphogenesis as a model to study how plant cell shape is controlled. During a screen for new mutations that affect trichome branch initiation in Arabidopsis, we identified seven new mutants that show a reduction in trichome branch number from three branches to two. These mutations were named furca, after the Latin word for two-pronged fork. These seven recessive mutations were placed...
