Abstract excerpt
The Curl (Cu) and Mouse-ear (Me) mutations of tomato cause two seemingly unrelated developmental syndromes with a wide range of pleiotropic phenotypes. Yet, the distinct morphogenic alterations in shoots, leaves, and inflorescences conferred by the two mutations appear to be caused by unchecked meristematic activity that characterizes dominant mutations in Knotted1 (Kn1)-like genes of monocot plants. We have been...
