The war of the whorls: genetic interactions controlling flower development.

Nature - 5 Sept 1991

Coen E S, Meyerowitz E M

Abstract excerpt

The analysis of mutations affecting flower structure has led to the identification of some of the genes that direct flower development. Cloning of these genes has allowed the formulation of molecular models of how floral meristem and organ identity may be specified, and has shown that the distant...
