Abstract excerpt
The maize homebox gene knotted1 (kn1) is expressed in vegetative and floral meristems and is down-regulated at the site of primordia formation. kn1-related genes from maize and other species also show meristem-specific expression and offer additional tools for studying the activities of shoot meristems. Members of this gene family are expressed early in embryogenesis, providing molecular markers for meristem...
