摘要
A vast amount of information on the genetic control of plant development has been obtained in Arabidopsis thaliana with classical genetic and molecular biological methods. The genes involved in multistep regulation of floral morphogenesis have been identified. The formation of floral meristem is controlled by the LEAFY(LFY), UNUSUAL FLORAL ORGANS (UFO), APETALA1 (AP1), and APETALA2 (AP2) genes. Studies of the abruptus and bractea recessive monogenic mutants from the collection of the Department of Genetics and Selection, Moscow State University, showed that the ABRUPTUS (ABR) and BRACTEA (BRA) genes also play an important role in inflorescence differentiation. The ABR gene controls the early formation of organ primordia on the inflorescence and the formation of floral organ primordia after floral initiation. Further differentiation of inflorescence organ primordia in vegetative or generative organs depends on the activity of the LFY gene, and floral organ identity is determined by the homeotic genes. Presumably, the major function of the ABR gene is to determine the auxin polar transport. The BRA gene suppresses the development of bracts on the inflorescence and constrains cell division at the base of primordia of rosette and cauline leaves.
