Abstract excerpt
In a screen for leaf developmental mutants we have isolated an activator T-DNA-tagged mutant that produces leaves without a petiole. In addition to that leafy petiole phenotype this lettuce (let) mutant shows aberrant inflorescence branching and silique shape. The LEAFY PETIOLE (LEP) gene is located close to the right border of the T-DNA insert linked with these dominant phenotypes and encodes a protein with a...
