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: transfo...
