Abstract excerpt
Phyllotaxy, or leaf arrangement, and leaf shape are two products of patterning mechanisms in plants. We have isolated a family of plant homeobox genes that provide tools to study both of these components. Expression patterns of the homeobox genes appear to predict leaf initiation sites; the ectopic expression of these genes affects leaf shape. We have isolated a recessive mutation, abphyl, that changes the...
