## Summary Fruitβset and fruit growth in pea (__Pisum sativum__ L.) depend on gibberellins (GAs). The authors have isolated a new pea mutant, __gio__, which appeared spontaneously within the population of the cultivar Alaska, characterized by unpollinated ovaries much less sensitive to applied GAs.

β¦ Synopsis
Recent genetic and molecular studies have been initiated to uncover the fundamental cellular processes unique to the shoot apical meristem. Our previous work resulted in the isolation of a cDNA clone derived from tobacco apex RNA, A3, that appeared to be transcriptionally restricted to the shoot apex regardless of developmental stage. Here the DNA sequence and in situ RNA analysis of A3 is presented. The A3 gene potentially encodes a small hydrophilic polypeptide, the sequence of which is unique to current data bases. It has been found that transcripts of the A3 gene are confined to the subepidermal and internal cell layers of the tobacco shoot apical meristem throughout development, become localized to undifferentiated floral organ primordia, and diminish as the developmental potential of the meristematic tissue becomes restricted.
