Caption

Severely abnormal plant growth caused by mutations in the CLV3 duplicate gene CSHL postdoc Iacopo Gentile has devised a new system for identifying redundant genes and predicting how certain genetic mutations may affect plant triats. The model provides plant breeders with a potential roadmap for future crop improvements.
