Since in Arabidopsis , the nectary develops only at the base of stamens, its specification was assayed...

...John L. Bowman; David R. Smyth ABSTRACT Studies of plants with mutations in the CRABS CLAW gene indicate that it is involved in suppressing early radial growth of the gynoecium and in promoting its later elongation. It is also required for the initiation of nectary development. To gain further...
