Abstract excerpt
Molecular cloning of mutations affecting the morphology of plant leaves has proven to be useful for the causal analysis of leaf development. Studies of leaf mutants have produced a wealth of biologically meaningful information on the genes that participate in leaf initiation, leaf polarity specification and maintenance, and leaf expansion and maturation. The availability of collections of gene-indexed insertional...
