Isolation and characterization of an Arabidopsis mutant, fireworks (fiw), which exhibits premature cessation of inflorescence growth and early leaf senescence.

Abstract excerpt

To examine the mechanism underlying the reproductive development in monocarpic plants, we screened for mutants that exhibit premature cessation of inflorescence growth in Arabidopsis. We identified a novel mutant line that exhibited earlier cessation of flower formation and inflorescence stem elongation. This mutant also exhibited accelerated rosette leaf senescence after the cessation of the inflorescence...
