(A) A-mutant flower showing a homeotic conversion of sepals and petals into carpels and stamens, respectively. (B) Simulated A-mutant with set to 0, showing a spatial arrangement of configurations corresponding to stamens and carpels similar to that shown in (a). (C) B-mutant flower with a homeotic conversion of petals and stamens into sepals and carpels, respectively. (D) Simulated B-mutant obtained by setting to 0, showing a spatial arrangement of configurations corresponding to sepals and carpels similar to that shown in (b). (E) C-mutant flower with a homeotic conversion of stamens and carpels into sepals and petals, respectively, and a loss of flower meristem determinacy. (F) Simulated C-mutant obtained by setting to 0, showing a spatial arrangement of configurations corresponding to sepals and petals similar to that shown in (E). Carpels in red, stamens in orange, petals in light green and sepals in light blue. The undifferentiated cells are in dark blue.
