The WOX genes form a plant-specific subclade of the eukaryotic homeobox transcription
factor superfamily, which is characterized by the presence of a conserved DNA-binding …

The shoot meristem gives rise to the aerial parts of higher plants by continuously initiating
new organs. The basis of this activity is its ability to maintain a pool of pluripotent stem cells …

During embryonic pattern formation, the main body axes are established and cells of
different developmental fates are specified from a single-cell zygote. Despite the …

The GLABRA2 gene (GL2) is one of several genes known to have a role in trichome
development in Arabidopsis. Mutations at this locus result in abnormal trichome expansion …

We describe the isolation and characterization of Pax‐3, a novel murine paired box gene
expressed exclusively during embryogenesis. Pax‐3 encodes a 479 amino acid protein with …

Although the Hox cluster genes are the best known, there are other exam-ples of
conservation of expression pattern of position-coding genes. Recently the vertebrate …

The homeobox gene knotted1 (kn1) was first isolated by transposon tagging a dominant leaf
mutant in maize. Related maize genes, isolated by virtue of sequence conservation within …

INSIGHT into the genetic control of the identity of specific regions along the body axis of
vertebrates1 has resulted primarily from the study of vertebrate homologues of regulatory …

We cloned two homeobox genes, Emx1 and Emx2, related to empty spiracles, a gene
expressed in very anterior body regions during early Drosophila embryogenesis, and …
