Abstract excerpt
The floral C-function, which specifies stamen and carpel development, played a pivotal role in the evolution of flowers. An important aspect of this was the establishment of mechanisms regulating the temporal and spatial expression domain of the C-function genes. Transcription of the Arabidopsis...
