Abstract excerpt
Activation tagging of the gene LEAFY PETIOLE (LEP) with a T-DNA construct induces ectopic leaf blade formation in Arabidopsis, which results in a leafy petiole phenotype. In addition, the number of rosette leaves produced prior to the onset of bolting is reduced, and the rate of leaf initiation is retarded by the activation tagged LEP gene. The ectopic leaf blade results from an invasion of the petiole region by...
