The cloning and expression patterns of FIL, YAB2, and YAB3 are presented along with gain-of-function phenotypes of FIL and YAB3. Each of the three genes is expressed abaxially in lateral organs and FIL and YAB3 can promote abaxial cell fates when ectopically expressed in adaxial positions. FIL is not expressed in adaxialized phabulosa-1d homozygotes. The authors propose members of the YABBY gene family specify abaxial cell fate in lateral organs.

FILAMENTOUS FLOWER, a meristem and organ identity gene of Arabidopsis, encodes a protein with a zinc finger and HMG-related domains. Genes Dev. 13:1999;1079-1088. The cloning, expression patterns and gain-of-function phenotype of FIL are presented. FIL is expressed abaxially in all lateral organs and can promote abaxial cell fates when ectopically expressed in adaxial positions. The authors propose that FIL promotes abaxial cell fate in lateral organs.

Genetic interactions between crc, gymnos and kanadi are described as well as the cloning and expression pattern of GYMNOS. It is proposed that both CRC and KANADI promote abaxial cell-fate specification and that GYMNOS negatively regulates genes, promoting meristematic potential at the level of chromatin.

Development. 126:1999;2387-2396. The authors describe the cloning of CRC, the founding member of the YABBY gene family. The expression pattern of CRC in wild-type and floral homeotic mutant flowers is presented. The YABBY gene family is outlined with sequence comparisons.

The genetic interactions between crc, spatula and the ABC floral homeotic genes are described. This study demonstrates conclusively that genes promoting aspects of carpel development (e.g. CRC and SPATULA) are active independently of the ABC floral homeotic genes, and that most carpel tissues do not absolutely require AGAMOUS (C class) activity. This has implications for the evolution of flowers and their constituent organs.

The cloning and expression pattern of INO is described. INO mRNA is detected only in the abaxial domain of the outer integument and loss-of-function ino alleles specifically affect the development of the abaxial regions of the outer integument.

The PINHEAD/ZWILLE gene acts pleiotropically in Arabidopsis development and has overlapping functions with the ARGONAUTE1 gene. Development. 126:1999;1-13. Genetic interactions between PINHEAD and ARGONAUTE, and the cloning of PINHEAD are described. As both ARGONAUTE1 and PINHEAD encode similar proteins with overlapping expression patterns, it is proposed that they act redundantly. On the basis of phenotypes of lateral organs and the expression of PINHEAD in the adaxial regions of lateral organs (as well as meristems), the authors suggest that these genes promote adaxial cell fate (see also [21]).
