Enhancement of meristem formation by bouquet-1, a mis-sense allele of the vernalization independence 3 gene encoding a WD40 repeat protein in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Abstract excerpt

In higher plants, the shoot apical meristem (SAM) is the ultimate source supplying cells that constitute the aboveground tissues and organs. The cells supplied from the SAM begin to proliferate rapidly and then concomitantly start to differentiate. We identified a novel mutant, named bouquet-1 (boq-1), exhibiting highly pleiotropic shoot growth phenotypes. The boq-1 plants showed an increase in the inflorescence...
