Abstract excerpt
SPL8 and miR156-targeted SPL genes are known to play an essential role in Arabidopsis anther development. Here we show that these SPL genes are also expressed within the developing gynoecium, where they redundantly control development of the female reproductive tract. Whereas the gynoecium morphology in the spl8 single mutant is largely normal, additional down-regulation of miR156-targeted SPL genes results in a...
