Evolution: How a homeobox gene cuts the mustard leaf

Abstract

Gene duplication and cis-regulatory divergence created the growth-repressing RCO homeobox gene and facilitated evolution of dissected crucifer leaves. Identification of RCO targets reveals that auto-repression evolved to fine-tune RCO activity and that RCO dissects leaves by increasing cytokinin signalling to inhibit growth locally.
