Abstract excerpt
A maternally determined seed defect has been obtained by downregulation of the petunia MADS box genes Floral Binding Protein 7 (FBP7) and FBP11. These genes have been previously shown to play central roles in the determination of ovule identity. Aberrant development of the seed coat and consequen...
