Abstract
Over the last several years, a number of mutations that disrupt flower development have been described in both Arabidopsis thaliana and Antirrhinum majus. These mutations define genes that affect flower induction, meristem identity, and floral organ identity. Many of these regulatory genes have been cloned and found to contain a conserved protein-coding domain present in transcription factors from yeast and mammals. Transcripts from these genes are found in regions of the flower that exhibit defects in the corresponding mutants. By examining the spatial expression patterns of these genes in various mutant backgrounds, the molecular interactions that control flower development are beginning to be elucidated.
