Analysis of the competence to respond to KNOTTED1 activity in Arabidopsis leaves using a steroid induction system1

From: Plant Physiology | Date: April 1, 2003| Author: | Copyright information

Expression of KNOX (KNOTTED1-like homeobox) genes in the shoot apical meristem of Arabidopsis is required for maintenance of a functional meristem, whereas exclusion of KNOX gene expression from leaf primordia is required for the elaboration of normal leaf morphology. We have constructed a steroid-inducible system to regulate both the amount and timing of KN1 (KNOTTED1) misexpression in Arabidopsis leaves. We demonstrate that lobed leaf morphology is produced in a dose-dependent manner, indicating that the amount of KN1 quantitatively affects the severity of lobing. The KN1-glucocorticoid ...
