TL;DR: It is shown here that the CURLY LEAF gene of Arabidopsis is necessary for stable repression of a floral homeotic gene and encodes a protein with homology to the product of the Polycomb-group gene Enhancer of zeste.

TL;DR: The results of the experiments showed that polyamines play an essential role in promotion of internode elongation through cell expansion in Arabidopsis and the relationships to plant growth regulators such as auxin and gibberellins that have related functions.

TL;DR: A transposon-tagging strategy designed to recover dominant gain-of-function alleles was performed with Arabidopsis by using a Dissociation element with a cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter transcribing outward over one terminus as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A novel transposon-tagging strategy designed to recover dominant gain-of-function alleles was performed with Arabidopsis by using a Dissociation element with a cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter transcribing outward over one terminus, resulting in a semidominant mutation affecting plant height, hypocotyl elongation, and fertility.

TL;DR: Cell-wall carbohydrate analyses of the parvus mutant indicated reduced levels of rhamnogalacturonan I branching and alterations in the abundance of some xyloglucan linkages that may, however, be indirect consequences of the mutation.
