Abstract excerpt
When mutations in CUP-SHAPED COTYLEDON1 (CUC1) and CUC2 are combined, severe defects involving fusion of sepals and of stamens occur in Arabidopsis flowers. In addition, septa of gynoecia do not fuse along the length of the ovaries and many ovules have their growth arrested. CUC2 is expressed at the tips of septal primordia during gynoecium development and at the boundary between nucellus and chalaza during ovule...
