Abstract excerpt
In the later part of the 1980s, the time was ripe for identifying genes controlling flower development. In that pregenomic era, the easiest way to do this was to induce random mutations in seeds by chemical mutagens (or irradiation) and to screen thousands of plants for those with phenotypes specifically defective in floral morphogenesis. Here, we discuss the results of premolecular screens for flower development...
