Activation of Floral Homeotic Genes in <i>Arabidopsis</i>
Detlef Weigel, Elliot M. Meyerowitz

Paper Summary

Floral organs in Arabidopsis thaliana are controlled by specific genes. Two key genes, LEAFY and APETALA1, kickstart the activation of these genes in developing flowers. Different floral genes need varying levels of LEAFY and APETALA1 to turn on properly.
