A Floricaula/Leafy gene homolog is preferentially expressed in developing female cones of the tropical pine Pinus caribaea var. caribaea

In angiosperms, flower formation is controlled by meristem identity genes, one of which, FLORICAULA (FLO)/LEAFY (LFY), plays a central role. It is not known if the formation of reproductive organs of pre-angiosperm species is similarly regulated. Here, we report the cloning of a conifer (Pinus carib...
