Abstract excerpt
Developmental mutants serve as a useful material to unravel the mechanisms necessary for organ development. The polycotyledon (poc) mutant of tomato, with multiple cotyledons in the seedling and varied phenotypic effects in the adult plant is one such mutant. Studies using physiological and anatomical methods in our lab suggest that POC is involved in the negative regulation of polar auxin transport, which is...
