Mimulus lewisii FLAYED1 and FLAYED2 gene identification
This study aims to identify and characterize the genes and genetic networks that control corolla tube formation (i.e., petal fusion) using chemically induced Mimulus lewisii mutants. Results from this study not only contribute new knowledge concerning the development of an important plant organ, but also provide fundamental insights into the genetic and developmental bases of a key morphological innovation during angiosperm evolution.
