... repeated events of leaf shape evolution within the Brassicaceae . In particular, we took advantage of the presence of three potentially functional paralogs in Capsella to investigate the extent of functional divergence among them. We demonstrate that the RCO copies control growth in different areas...

... proportion of mutant lateral shoots is fasciated. Together, this suggests that MAX1 and MAX2 do not control the timing of axillary meristem initiation but repress primordia formation by the axillary meristem. In addition to shoot branching, mutations at both loci affect leaf shape. The mutations at MAX2...

... ; Timmermans et al., 1999 ; Tsiantis et al., 1999 ). We show that asymmetric1 ( as1 ), or asymmetric2 ( as2 ) mutant plants ectopically express KNAT1 and KNAT2 in leaves and flowers, and that, depending on additional genetic components, the leaf shape can be dramatically altered, and ectopic growth...

...Liam Dolan; R. Scott Poethig Leaf shape in cotton is regulated by the developmental age of the shoot and by several major genes that affect leaf lobing. The effect of these factors was investigated by allometric analysis, cell lineage analysis, and by studying the expression of the leaf shape...
