Abstract

The analysis of mutations affecting flower structure has led to the identification of some of the genes that direct flower development. Cloning of these genes has allowed the formulation of molecular models of how floral meristem and organ identity may be specified, and has shown that the distantly related flowering plants Arabidopsis thaliana and Antirrhinum majus use homologous mechanisms in floral pattern formation.

摘要

对影响花结构的突变进行分析，已促成了一些指导花发育的基因的鉴定。这些基因的克隆使得人们能够构建关于花分生组织和器官特征如何被确定的分子模型，并且表明亲缘关系较远的开花植物拟南芥和金鱼草在花模式形成中使用同源机制。
