15. A CLV3 full-length cDNA was inserted between the CaMV35S promoter and the 3′NOS terminator of pRTΩNot I to give pBU4. Clone orientation and fidelity was verified by sequencing. A Pst I restriction fragment of pBU4 was introduced into pGREEN (P. Mullineaux and R. Hellens, John Innes Centre, Norwich, UK) to give pBU6 (CaMV35S::CLV3). pBU6 was transformed into Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain GV3101 and used to transform Arabidopsis plants by vacuum infiltration [N. Bechtold, J. Ellis, G. Pelletier, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris Sci. Vie 316, 1194 (1993)]. Transformation efficiency ranged from 0.5 to 5.0%.
16. Some 2% of all transgenic plants presumably failed to express the transgene at sufficient levels to give a phenotype.
17. In situ hybridizations were performed as described in (2).
18. A 5.5-kb Eco RI genomic DNA fragment containing the CLV3 gene was cloned into pGREEN, giving gE55CLV3, and transformed into Agrobacterium strain GV3101. Introduction of gE55CLV3 into clv3-2 mutants rescued the mutant phenotype. Plants that carried four copies of the CLV3 gene were obtained by introducing two copies of gE55CLV3 into the genome of wild-type plants.

21. A DNA fragment containing 3.5-kb DNA upstream of the putative transcription start site of the UFO gene was used to replace the CaMV35S promoter in pRTΩNot I. A CLV3 cDNA clone was then inserted between the Ω-leader and the NOS-terminator giving pBU11. The UFO::CLV3 gene construct was transferred as a Pst I fragment into a pGREEN T-DNA vector, giving pBU12. Transformation of Arabidopsis wild type and clv3-8 mutants via Agrobacterium GV3101 was performed as described above. We analyzed 203 transformants.
