The SCARFACE gene is required for cotyledon and leaf vein patterning
M.K. Deyholos, G. Cordner, D. Beebe, L.E. Sieburth
Development 2000 127: 3205-3213;

Summary

Mechanisms controlling vein patterning are poorly understood. We describe a recessive Arabidopsis mutant, scarface (sfc), which maps to chromosome 5. sfc mutants have vein pattern defects in cotyledons, leaves, sepals and petals. In contrast to the wild type, in which these organs all have linear veins that are continuous with at least one other vein, in sfc mutants these organs' secondary and tertiary veins are largely replaced by small segments of discontinuous veins, which we call vascular islands. Patterning defects are manifest in cotyledon provascular tissue, suggesting that the patterning defect occurs early in organogenesis. sfc mutants have exaggerated responses to exogenous auxin. Analysis of monopteros (mp(T370)) sfc-1 double mutants suggested that SFC has partially overlapping functions with MP in patterning of both primary and secondary veins.

Kathryn Virginia Anderson (1952-2020)

Developmental geneticist Kathryn Anderson passed away at home on 30 November 2020. Tamara Caspary, a former postdoc and friend, remembers Kathryn and her remarkable contribution to developmental biology.

Zooming into 2021

In a new Editorial, Editor-in-Chief James Briscoe and Executive Editor Katherine Brown reflect on the triumphs and tribulations of the last 12 months, and look towards a hopefully calmer and more predictable year.

Read & Publish participation extends worldwide

Over 60 institutions in 12 countries are now participating in our Read & Publish initiative. Here, James Briscoe explains what this means for his institution, The Francis Crick Institute. Find out more and view our full list of participating institutions.
