Genes

Front 1

WOX 2

Back 1

regulates gene expression in the apical cell to initiate embryo development

Front 2

WOX8/9

Back 2

regulate development of the basal cell lineage, i.e formation of the suspenser and regulate expression of WOX 2 in the apical cell (signalling)

Front 3

Back 4

altered in apical development

Front 5

regulates the loss of water (desiccation) and prevents damage in mature seeds
expression promoted by Abscisic acid (ABA)

Front 8

mutant Abscisic acid (ABA)

Back 8

LEA genes are not switched on and plant skips desication and seed dormancy -> precocious germination

have fewer trichomes than wild type

Front 12

GL3

Back 12

positively regulates leaf cell fate

Front 13

tryptychon (try) and caprice (cpc) mutants

Back 13

lack the negative signals which suppress trichome formation in adjacent cells, resulting in clusters of trichomes

Front 14

dis mutants

Back 14

can make trichomes but with distorted morphology

Front 15

Arp2/3 proteins

Back 15

required for normal actin filament production

Front 16

Back 16

clustering of stomatal cells

Front 17

TMM

Back 17

controls the spatial distribution of stomatal production

Front 18

wer (Werwolf) mutant

Back 18

hairy root and produces hairs from non-hair cells (ectopic root hair production)

Front 19

WER

Back 19

acts to repress hair formation in non-hair cells

Front 20

phy (phytochrome) mutant

Back 20

grows taller in light than wild-type

Front 21

ga (gibberellic acid) mutant

Back 21

deficient in extension growth

bicoid mutant

Back 22

lacks anterior structures

Front 23

fushi tarazu

Back 23

altered segmentation in drosophila

Front 24

antennapedia mutants

Back 24

drosophila have legs where antenna should be

Front 25

wuschel (wus) mutant

Back 25

lacks functional stem cells, makes cotyledons but unable to differentiate other organs of plant

Front 26

WUS

Back 26

specifies stem cell formation

Front 27

clavata mutants (clv1/2/3)

Back 27

have enlarged meristems due to accumulation of stem cells in plants

Front 28

CLV

Back 28

is important in controlling the size of the stem cell population

Front 29

lfy (leafy) mutation

Back 29

in arabidopsis plants partial conversion of floral meristems to vegetative meristems

Front 30

LFY

Back 30

involved in promoting floral meristem identity
