Abstract
Double flowers are the result of a battle between genes that activate or inhibit the development of different kinds of structures and organs. Molecular biologists are particularly interested in mutants because they provide clues about the mechanisms of flower development and their evolutionary origin. This area of research reveals more about the highly complex “regulatory code” of flowers.
