L20 Flashcards
Leaf
___________ cell fate
Determinate
Meristem
___________ cell fate
indeterminate
leaf development steps (4)
- Emergence
leaf primordium - Establishing
Adaxial-abaxial patterning - Blade outgrowth
- Tissue differentiation
adoxial =
upper side of leaf
abaxial =
lower side of leaf
In leaf primordia,_____ can act as transcriptional repressors to shut off KNOX-1 genes
ARPs
How does a leaf know which side is adaxial (or abaxial) ?
A signal from the meristem moves through the epidermis into the incipient primordium.
The signal conveys the adaxial positional information.
The nature of the signal is not known.
Adaxial genes
HD ZIP genes (REVOLUTA
PHABULOSA)
Abaxial genes
YABBY
KANADI
miR165/6
In wild-type plants, PHB expression is restricted to the____ side of the leaves
adaxial
In gain-of-function phb-1d mutants, PHB is expressed________, resulting in adaxialized, radially symmetric leaves.
everywhere
Leaf polarity requires proper expression of_____
PHB, YAB, KAN
