DEVELOPMENT AND MORPHOGENESIS

Arabidopsis (Brassicaceae) flower development and gynoecium patterning in wild type and Ettin mutants

RA Sessions

Screening for mutations that alter flower development in Arabidopsis has led to the identification of two general types of genetic loci: those affecting meristem and organ identity, and those affecting growth and development independent of identity. ettin (ett) mutants belong to the latter class and exhibit pleiotropic phenotypes distinct from previously described Arabidopsis mutants. These phenotypes include increases in sepal and petal number, decreases in stamen number and anther locule number, and gross alteration of tissue patterning in the gynoecium. To determine when and how differences in ett floral meristems originate, flower development was compared between the wild type and ett mutants. ett floral meristems exhibit increases in abaxial sepal and petal primordia number without apparent increases in meristem size. Extra sepal and petal primordia develop into normal organs. In contrast, stamen and carpel primordia exhibit alterations in shape and form, subsequent to premature elongation of the terminal floral meristem. Phenotypes are allele-strength dependent. The stigma develops precociously and style differentiation is basally and abaxially misplaced in ett gynoecia. The data are discussed in the context of a model suggesting that two concentric boundaries specify the apical-basal pattern of gynoecium differentiation.
