Chapter 35, Problem 17TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The ABC hypothesis of flower development demonstrates the presence of three gene classes. These three classes of genes are involved in regulating the development of floral organs. These genes are referred to as classes A, B, and C genes. The interactions between these genes induce floral organ development.

Students have asked these similar questions
in flowering control of plant, describe a situation wherein there are mutations in at least one or all of the genes responsible for control of the floral development.
Using the 'ABC model' of floral development, what would you expect the flowers of a mutant plant to look like if both A & B gene function had been destroyed?
The ABCDE Model of flower development dictates the combination of
transcription factors require to initiate each whorl of a flower. Based
on the diagram below, what would happen if:

25-40 The ABCDE model of floral organ determination in
Arabidopsis In addition to the A-, B-, and C-function genes of the
ABC model, this model includes two additional gene classes,
D and E. In the ABCDE model, class A + E genes specify sepals;
class A + B + E, petals; class B +C +E, stamens; class C + E, carpels;
and class C+ D + E, ovules.
1. Gene D was non-functional:
2. Gene E was non-functional:
3. Only Gene A was functional:
4. Gene B and E were non-functional:
5. Only Gene A and Gene E were functional:
Hint: If Gene A was non-functional the flower would have no
sepals or petals, it would be composed of only stamens and
carpels.

- Using just the 'ABC model' of floral development what would you need to change in terms of genes or gene expression to get male only flowers, but still have 3 different floral whorls in total? Then what would you need to change to get female flowers and again have three different floral whorls in total?arrow_forwardUnder which of the following conditions would pollen from an S2S5 plant successfully pollinate an S1S5 flower? a. Using pollen from a carpelate flower to fertilize a staminate flower would be successful. b. If the plants used gametophytic self-incompatibility, half of the pollen would be successful. c. If the plants used sporophytic self-incompatibility, half of the pollen would be successful. d. Pollen from an S2S5 plant can never pollinate an S1S5 flower.arrow_forwardThe drooping, bell-like flower Aquilegia canadensis is adapted for cross-pollination. However, if the plant has not been pollinated previously, self-pollination can occur. However, if cross pollination occurs after self-pollination takes place, the pollen from cross pollination reaches the style before the pollen from self-pollination. Using course concepts and vocabulary 1) Provide a reasoning for this phenomenon. 2) Would this adaptation for reproduction be beneficial for the plant?arrow_forward
