Abstract excerpt

We are using trichome formation on the plant Arabidopsis thaliana as a model for the study of plant cell determination and differentiation. Several of the genes that are required for trichome formation are defined by mutations. Two mutations, ttg and gl1, prevent the initiation of trichome differ...
