Abstract excerpt
Recessive mutations at the plena (ple) locus result in a homeotic conversion of sex organs to sterile perianth organs in flowers of Antirrhinum majus. A complementary phenotype, in which sex organs replace sterile organs, is conferred by semidominant ovulata mutations. The ple locus was identified and isolated using a homologous gene, agamous from Arabidopsis, as a probe. The expression of ple is normally...
