Q

How does a leaf acquire adaxial and abaxial polarity?

A
  • Signal from meristem moves into incipient primordium

- Signal conveys adaxial positional informatuon

Q

What gene is needed so leaves can grow outwards?

A

Angusfolia

18
Q

What gene is needed so leaves can grow in length?

A

Rotudifolia3

19
Q

What causes the leaf blade to gain spikes?

A
  • Auxin promotes spikes
  • cup-shaped cotyledon repressed spikes
  • They are patterned to give spikes
20
Q

What are the main cell types within a leaf?

A
  • Epidermis cells
  • Palisade mesophyll
  • Spongy mesophyll
  • Vascular tissue
21
Q

What genes contribute to the development of guard cells?

A
  • Speechless
  • Mute
  • Fama
22
Q

How is the spacing of guard cells controlled?

A

By epidermal patterning factor2 (EPF2) and erecta genes

23
Q

How does epidermal patterning factor2 inhibit guard cell production?

A

Creates a ligand that inhibits the guard cell pathway

24
Q

What happens during over expression of epidermal patterning factor2?

A

There are no guard cells
