Abstract excerpt
In dicotyledonous plants, the apical region of the embryo shifts from radial to bilateral symmetry as the two cotyledon primordia develop on opposite sides of the shoot meristem. To further elucidate the mechanisms regulating this patterning process, we analyzed functions of two Arabidopsis genes, PIN-FORMED1 (PIN1) and MONOPTEROS (MP), encoding a putative auxin efflux carrier and a transcription factor thought...
