Abstract
A fascinating aspect of floral diversity is the dramatic difference in flower size observed in nature. The largest flowers in the world, Rafflesia arnoldii, span several feet while flowers of the genus Wolffia are microscopic. My own particular interest in flower size started when I overexpressed the Arabidopsis gene AINTEGUMENTA (ANT) and observed a larger flower phenotype.
摘要
花的多样性的一个迷人之处是自然界中观察到的花朵大小的显著差异。世界上最大的花是阿诺尔特大花草，直径可达数英尺，而无根萍属的花则是微小的。我对花的大小特别感兴趣是在我过量表达拟南芥基因 AINTEGUMENTA（ANT）并观察到更大的花表型时开始的。
