Floral homeotic and flower development mutants ofPrimula, includingdouble,Hose in Hose,Jack in the GreenandSplit Perianth, have been cultivated since the late 1500s as ornamental plants but until recently have attracted limited scientific attention. Here we describe the characterization of a new mutant phenotype,sepaloid, that produces flowers comprising only sepals and carpels. Thesepaloidmutation is recessive, and is linked to theSlocus that controls floral heteromorphy. The phenotype shows developmental variability, with flowers containing three whorls of sepals surrounding fertile carpels, two whorls of sepals with a diminished third whorl of sepals surrounding a fourth whorl of carpels, or three whorls of sepals surrounding abnormal carpels. In some respects, these phenotypes resemble the Arabidopsis andAntirrhinumhomeotic B‐function mutantsapetala3/deficiens(ap3/def) andpistillata/globosa(pi/glo).We have isolated thePrimula vulgarisB‐function genesPvDEFICIENS(PvDEF) andPvGLOBOSA(PvGLO), expression of both of which is affected in thesepaloidmutant.PvGLO, likesepaloid, is linked to theSlocus, whereasPvDEFis not. However, our analyses reveal thatsepaloidandPvGLOrepresent different genes. We conclude thatSEPALOIDis anS‐linked independent regulator of floral organ identity genes includingPvDEFandPvGLO.
