The No Apical Meristem Gene of Petunia Is Required for Pattern Formation in Embryos and Flowers and Is Expressed at Meristem and Primordia Boundaries
Open accessAbstract
Petunia embryos carrying the no apical meristem (nam) mutation fail to develop a shoot apical meristem. Occasional shoots on nam- seedlings bear flowers that develop ten instead of five primordia in the second whorl. Double mutants with the homeotic gene green petals show that nam acts independently of organ identify in whorl 2 and now also affects primordium number in whorl 3. The nam gene was isolated by transposon tagging. The encoded protein shares a conserved N-terminal domain with several other proteins of unknown function and thus represents a novel class of proteins. Strikingly, nam mRNA accumulates in cells at the boundaries of meristems and primordia. These data indicate a role for nam in determining positions of meristems and primordia.

“In general, boundaries are characterized by a low number of cell divisions (Hussey, 1971;Reddy et al., 2004) and specific patterns of gene expression (Souer et al., 1996;Aida et al., 1997;Takada et al., 2001;Vroemen et al., 2003;Weir et al., 2004;Berger et al., 2009).”

In the citing paper
“These genes are consistently expressed in boundary zones and their loss of function causes fusion of adjacent organs (e.g.cotyledons, floral organs, and ovules) that would normally be separated (Souer et al., 1996;Aida et al., 1997;Takada et al., 2001;Vroemen et al., 2003;Weir et al., 2004; Fig. 1e,f).”

In the citing paper
“It has been proposed that NAM/CUC proteins exert their function by repressing growth in the boundary regions, because mutations in these genes or down-regulation of their expression leads to ectopic growth in the boundaries between adjacent morphological structures (Souer et al., 1996”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
