Abstract excerpt
AGAMOUS (AG) is an Arabidopsis MADS box gene required for normal development of the third and fourth whorls of the flower. In previously described ag mutants, the third whorl stamens are replaced by petals, and the fourth whorl is replaced by another (mutant) flower. We describe two new ag alleles, ag-4 and AG-Met205, retaining partial AG activity. Both produce flowers with stamens in the third whorl and...
