Genetics of flower initiation and development in annual and perennial plants (2006, positive): “There are four functionally redundant SEP genes (Pelaz et al. 2000, Ditta et al. 2004)—SEP1, SEP2, SEP3 and SEP4—in Arabidopsis, and together they are essential for the specification of organ identity in all four whorls of a flower.”
Flower Evolution: The Origin and Subsequent Diversification of the Angiosperm Flower (2009, background): “E-class genes are unique to flowering plants and are required for the identity of all floral organs as well as meristem identity (Ditta et al. 2004).”
Developmental Gene Evolution and the Origin of Grass Inflorescence Diversity (2006, background): “For example, Arabidopsis sep1 sep2 sep3 (sepallata) triple mutant flowers are composed entirely of sepal‐like structures, and sep1 sep2 sep3 sep4 quadruple mutants have flowers composed entirely of leaf‐like structures (Ditta et al., 2004; Pelaz et al., 2000).”
An Evaluation of A‐Function: Evidence from the APETALA1 and APETALA2 Gene Lineages (2007, background): “…genes (SEP1–SEP4) have been shown in Arabidopsis to provide an E-function that is also required for flower formation and for proper specification of floral organ identity (Pelaz et al. 2000, 2001b; Honma and Goto 2001; Theissen and Saedler 2001; Vandenbussche et al. 2003b; Ditta et al. 2004).”
No Flower no Fruit - Genetic Potentials to Trigger Flowering in Fruit Trees (2007, background): “Triple mutants in SEP1-3 lead to the conversion of the inner three whorls of a flower in to sepals (Pelaz et al. 2000), the loss of function of the fourth SEP replaces all flower organs by leaf-like structures (Ditta et al. 2004).”
