Abstract excerpt
The effect of auxin on stamen and pistil development in tobacco flowers was investigated by means of the localized expression of rolB (root loci B), an Agrobacterium oncogene that increases auxin sensitivity in a cell-autonomous fashion. When rolB is driven by the promoter of the meiosis-specific Arabidopsis gene DMC1 (disrupted meiotic cDNA 1), expression occurs earlier in male than in female developing organs,...
