Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: GREEN PETAL (GP) is thought to be a petunia class B floral homeotic gene, because the gp mutant flower displays a severe homeotic conversion of petals into sepals in the second whorl. However, since the third whorl stamens remain unaffected in the gp null mutant, gp is different from class B mutants in Arabidopsis and Antirrhinum, which also show a conversion of the third whorl stamens into the...
