Abstract excerpt
MAIN CONCLUSION: Simultaneous knockdown or knockout of Torenia fournieri PLENA (TfPLE) and FALINELLI (TfFAR) genes with RNAi or genome-editing technologies generated a multi-petal phenotype in torenia. The MADS-box gene AGAMOUS (AG) is well known to play important roles in the development of stamens and carpels in Arabidopsis. Mutations in AG cause the morphological transformation of stamens and carpels into...
