Abstract excerpt
In a genetic screen in a drnl-2 background, we isolated a loss-of-function allele in miR319a (miR319a(129)). Previously, miR319a has been postulated to play a role in leaf development based on the dramatic curled-leaf phenotype of plants that ectopically express miR319a (jaw-D). miR319a(129) mutants exhibit defects in petal and stamen development; petals are narrow and short, and stamens exhibit defects in anther...
