Abstract
The patterns of axillary bud formation and the growth characteristics of side-shoots determine to a large extent the form of plants. Characterization of mutants in the monopodial plant Arabidopsis thaliana and in the sympodial tomato, as well as cloning of some of the respective genes, contributes to a better understanding of side-shoot development. Genes have been identified that influence the initiation of axillary meristems and the pattern of their subsequent development.
