Abstract excerpt
CUP-SHAPED COTYLEDON (CUC)1 encodes members of the NAC family. These are functionally redundant genes that are involved in shoot apical meristem (SAM) formation and cotyledon separation during embryogenesis in Arabidopsis. We analyzed transgenic plants overexpressing CUC1 (35S::CUC1). The cotyledons of these transgenic seedlings regularly had two basal lobes, small and round epidermal cells between the sinuses,...
