Rice PHYC gene: Structure, Expression, Map Position and Evolution. Plant Molecular Biology 44(1):27-42. Interpretive Summary: KNOX genes function in plant meristems, which produce leaves and stems. Three recent studies show that the dwarf phenotype, brevipedicellus, is caused by a recessive mutation in a KNOX gene. A fourth study shows that misexpression of KNOX genes leads to novel features that may have selective value.
