Abstract excerpt
The DEFICIENS (DEF) gene is required for establishing petal and stamen identity in Antirrhinum and is expressed in all three layers of the floral meristem in whorls 2 and 3. Expression of DEF in a subset of meristem layers gives rise to organs with characteristic shapes and cell types, reflecting altered patterns and levels of DEF gene activity. To determine how the contributions of layers and gene activity...
