Abstract excerpt
Molecular mechanisms governing development of the male reproductive organs of flowers, the anthers, are largely unknown. In this article, we report on the investigation of the molecular basis of a mutation involving the expression of a gene encoding the flavonoid biosynthesis enzyme chalcone flavanone isomerase (CHI) in anthers of petunia. In petunia, the gene Po regulates the expression of CHI in anthers: PoPo...
