Abstract excerpt
We compared the phenotypes of transgenic tobacco plants over-expressing various knotted1-type class1 homeobox genes. All transformants showed abnormal leaf morphology, with the degree of abnormality depending upon the Nicotiana tabacum homeobox (NTH) gene that was over-expressed. Tobacco plants over-expressing NTH1 or NTH9 showed a relatively weak phenotype, while NTH15 and NTH20 over-expressing plants exhibited...
