Abstract

Polarity establishment in carpels of Arabidopsis are discussed. They are promoted by distinct mechanisms. Genetic enhancers of the crc mutant phenotype were isolated to shed light on the role of CRABS CLAW (CRC) in carpel development. Mutations representing genes that act redundantly with CRC in control of abaxial-adaxial polarity in the carpel were found.
