Journal ArticleDOI

A genetic framework for fruit patterning in Arabidopsis thaliana.

TL;DR: This work provides the first functional link between polarity establishment and the regulation of tissue identity by showing that FIL and YAB3 control the non-overlapping expression patterns of FRUITFULL (FUL) and SHATTERPROOF (SHP), genes necessary to form stripes of valve margin tissue that allow the fruit to shatter along two defined borders and disperse the seeds.
Journal Article

Acceleration of flowering by overexpression of MFT (MOTHER OF FT AND TFL1).

TL;DR: It is suggested that MFT functions as a floral inducer and that it may act redundantly in determination of flowering time in Arabidopsis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional divergence of the TFL1‐like gene family in Arabidopsis revealed by characterization of a novel homologue

TL;DR: The TERMINAL FLOWER 1 (TFL1) gene of Arabidopsis plays an important role in regulating flowering time and in maintaining the fate of inflorescence meristem (IM).
Journal ArticleDOI

Epialleles in plant evolution

TL;DR: What is known about plant epialleles and the role of epigenetics in evolution is reviewed and heritable phenotypic differences caused by epigenetic modifications, rather than DNA sequence mutations are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative Trait Loci Controlling Light and Hormone Response in Two Accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana

TL;DR: Natural variation in light and hormone response defines both new genes and known genes that control light response in wild accessions as well as loci where candidate genes have been identified from known mutations.
