Abstract excerpt
Developmental processes in multicellular organisms involve an intricate balance between mechanisms that promote cell division activity and growth, and others that promote cell differentiation. Leaf development in Arabidopsis thaliana is controlled by genes like BLADE ON PETIOLE1 (BOP1), which prevent the development of ectopic meristematic activity that leads to the formation of new organs, and JAGGED (JAG),...
