Abstract excerpt
Dorsoventral asymmetry in flowers of Antirrhinum depends on expression of the cycloidea gene in dorsal regions of floral meristems. To determine how cycloidea might be regulated we analysed its expression in several contexts. We show that cycloidea is activated shortly after floral induction, and that in addition to flowers, cycloidea can be asymmetrically expressed in shoots, even though these shoots show no...
