Molecular genetic analysis of left-right handedness in plants.

Abstract excerpt

Handedness in plant growth may be most familiar to us when we think of tendrils or twining plants, which generally form consistent right- or left-handed helices as they climb. The petals of several species are sometimes arranged like fan blades that twist in the same direction.
