The study of floral organ development has been a driving force in plant developmental biology research for the last two decades, and there is now an enormous wealth of information about the genetic networks underlying the specification of floral organ identity and the acquisition of its final morphology and function. These and parallel studies on leaf morphogenesis and development have made evident the common evolutionary origin of all plant lateral organs and the recurrent use of variations in the regulatory circuits involved in the shaping of leaves and flowers. This review summarizes the latest progress on the study of the development of the gynoecium, the female reproductive organ of the flower, stressing the connections with the developmental programme of leaf morphogenesis, and highlighting the common role of hormonal cues in these processes.
在过去二十年里，花器官发育的研究一直是植物发育生物学研究的驱动力，目前关于花器官特征决定以及最终形态和功能形成背后的遗传网络，已有大量信息。这些研究以及关于叶片形态发生和发育的平行研究表明，所有植物侧生器官有着共同的进化起源，并且在叶片和花朵形态塑造过程中，调控回路中的变异被反复利用。本综述总结了雌蕊（花的雌性生殖器官）发育研究的最新进展，强调了与叶片形态发生发育程序的联系，并突出了激素信号在这些过程中的共同作用。
