There has been an explosion of information about flower development recently, largely because of genetic and molecular studies in Arabidopsis thaliana and Antirrhihum majus. A number of homeotic genes have been identified that regulate flower development, and models have been proposed for the specification of meristem and floral organ identities. Molecular cloning of many of these genes has all...
