Abstract excerpt
Differential growth of tissues during lateral organ development is essential for producing variation in shape and size. Previous studies have identified JAGGED (JAG), a gene that encodes a putative C2H2 zinc-finger transcription factor, as a key regulator of shape that promotes growth in lateral organs. Although JAG expression is detected in all floral organs, loss-of-function jag alleles have their strongest...
