Abstract excerpt
Two major classes of genes directing flower development have so far been described: early activated genes regulating meristem identity and later acting genes controlling organ identity. Here, we show that the fimbriata (fim) gene acts between these two classes in a sequence of gene activation. The fim gene, originally described in 1930, was cloned by transposon tagging from Antirrhinum majus and encodes a product...
