Abstract
Detailed morphogenetic analysis of five phantastica (phan) mutants has suggested that phan is involved in directing a change in the polarity of cell division in the leaf primordium which gives rise to the lamina, and in determination of dorsal cell types. One phan mutation, which was obtained in a targeted transposon mutagenesis programme appears to be caused by the transposon Tam4. This project aims to isolate the phan locus using Tam4 as a probe, to characterise its structure and expression and to relate the site and timing of its expression to its effects on cell division and differentiation during leaf morphogenesis.
