Abstract excerpt
Spontaneous twinning is a widespread but infrequent phenomenon in higher plants. We describe here a mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana, twin, that yields an unusually high frequency of viable twin and occasional triplet seedlings. Supernumerary embryos of twin arise through a novel mechanism: transformation of cells within the suspensor, a differentiated structure established early in embryogenesis. Twin embryos...
