Abstract
Trichome development in Arabidopsis thaliana is a well-characterized modelfor the study of plant cell differentiation. Two genes that play an essential role in the initiation of trichome development are GLI and TTG. Mutations in either gene prevent the initiation of most trichomes. The GLI gene encodes a myb-related transcription factor. Mutations in TTG art pleiotropic,affecting anthocyanins, root hairs, and seed coat mucilage in addition to trichomes. Six tig alleles,ve re examined and shown to form a hypomorphic series. The severity of all aspects of the ttg phenotype varied in parallel in this allelic series. The weakest allele, ttg-10, causes frequent clusters of adjacent trichomes, suggesting a role for TTG in inhibiting neighboring cells from choosing the trichome fate. This allele results from a mutation in the 5'-untranslated region of ttg and creates an out-of-frame upstreamAUG codon. The ttg-10 allele shows several unusual genetic interactions with the weak hypomorphic gl1-2 allele, including intergenic noncomplementation and a synthetic glabrous phenotype. These interactions are specific for the gl1-2 allele. The implication of these results for cur-rent models of trichome development is discussed.
