Elliot Meyerowitz and others have described for Arabidopsis, a weed, how the formation of sepals, petals, stamens and pistels is regulated by a set of genes that turn on at certain times and places. With fivefold symmetry, roses will be different from the 4-fold of the weedy brassicas, but the principles are likely to be the same. It looks like you've somehow gotten the color-forming genes turned on in pollen, as happens in some roses like Captain Thomas, but now apparently under control of the blotch gene whatever that is. Keep up the good work. This may really help us understand how flower coloring in roses is controlled.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938613285549788012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079209862920475099.post-27087105520187370712011-04-12T03:36:59.157-07:002011-04-12T03:36:59.157-07:00WOW!!!
