Abstract excerpt
KNOX genes are indispensable elements of indeterminate apical growth programmes of vascular plant sporophytes. Since little is known about the roles of such genes in non-vascular plants, functional analysis of moss KNOX homologues (MKN genes) was undertaken using the genetically amenable model plant, Physcomitrella patens. Three MKN genes were inactivated by targeted gene knockout to produce single, double and...
