Abstract excerpt
Leaves possess intrinsic information about their final size, but the developmental mechanisms setting the limits of growth are not well characterized. By screening enhancer trap lines that show a specific expression pattern in leaf primordia, we isolated one line, 576. This line contains a T-DNA insertion upstream of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor SPATULA (SPT) gene, and shows expression...
