Identification of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Arabidopsis thaliana</Emphasis> genes whose expression determines changes in the shoot structure

A system was created to obtain and select Arabidopsis thaliana genes whose superexpression causes development of a mutant phenotype. Three morphological mutants (two with a markedly retarded growth and one with a fasciated stem) associated with the superexpression of genes At5g10080, At1g33390, and At5g13760 were generated with the use of this system. Localization, structure, and a possible functional organization of these genes were determined.
