The KNOLLE syntaxin protein in this organism controls cytokinesis.
Defenses against infection in this organism were shown to depend on ATP binding cassette transporter PEN3/PDR8. The KNOLLE syntaxin protein in this organism controls cytokinesis. One gene in this organism that encodes for an oxidoreductase mediating the fusion of epidermal cells was found to correct itself in the case of an offspring with two parents possessing defective copies. The HOTHEAD gene is an example of the non-Mendelian inheritance exhibited by this organism, whose genome consists of 135 or 157 mega base pairs in five chromosomes. Enrico Coen and Elliot Meyerowitz drew from research on this organism to conclude that the ABC model explained how clusters of genes in angiosperms regulate flower development. For 10 points, identify this plant model organism.
