Abstract

Under the theme “Research that Transformed Developmental Biology”, this article discusses the seminal work by Bowman, Smyth, and Meyerowitz published in Development in 1991. The work laid down an elegant blueprint of flower patterning, namely the ABC model of flower development, which remains a cornerstone of plant development. In addition to summarizing key aspects of the model, the article emphasizes several noteworthy aspects, including the basic technique (mutant analysis) employed and the influence by animal development. Additionally, the article discusses significant follow-up research that confirmed key aspects of the model. Lastly, the article examines the impact of the ABC model on the field of plant EvoDevo. Collectively, the journey of how basic genetic analysis of mutants resulted in groundbreaking advancements in plant development will inspire future scientists and drive transformative research forward.

对一种小杂草的突变体分析揭示了花图案的蓝图

本文以“改变发育生物学的研究”为主题，讨论了鲍曼、史密斯和迈耶罗维茨1991年发表在《发展》杂志上的开创性工作。这项工作奠定了一个优雅的花朵图案蓝图，即花发育的ABC模型，它仍然是植物发育的基石。除了总结该模型的关键方面外，文章还强调了几个值得注意的方面，包括所采用的基本技术（突变体分析）和动物发育的影响。此外，本文还讨论了确认该模型关键方面的重要后续研究。最后，本文考察了ABC模型对植物进化发展领域的影响。总的来说，突变体的基本遗传分析如何导致植物发育的突破性进展的旅程将激励未来的科学家并推动变革性研究向前发展。

期刊介绍： Developmental Biology (DB) publishes original research on mechanisms of development, differentiation, and growth in animals and plants at the molecular, cellular, genetic and evolutionary levels. Areas of particular emphasis include transcriptional control mechanisms, embryonic patterning, cell-cell interactions, growth factors and signal transduction, and regulatory hierarchies in developing plants and animals.
