Pattern formation in the flowering plant embryo.
Recent mutation studies in Arabidopsis suggest rules by which the primary organization of the plant body is established in the early embryo. The main types of plant tissue arise independently of pattern formation along the axis of polarity. The axis is initially partitioned into three regions. This prepattern is later refined, possibly by position-specific cell activities, as indicated by morphological features as well as the distribution of molecular markers.
