We describe mutations of three genes in Arabidopsis thaliana-extra cotyledon1 (xtc1), extra cotyledon2 (xtc2), and altered meristem programming1 (amp1)-that transform leaves into cotyledons. In all three of these mutations, this transformation is associated with a change in the timing of events in embryogenesis. xtc1 and xtc2 delay the morphogenesis of the embryo proper at the globular-to-heart transition but permit the shoot apex to develop to an unusually advanced stage late in embryogenesis. Both mutations have little or no effect on seed maturation and do not affect the viability of the shoot or the rate of leaf initiation after germination. amp1 perturbs the pattern of cell division at an early globular stage, dramatically increases the size of the shoot apex and, like xtc1 and xtc2, produces enlarged leaf primordia during seed development. These unusual phenotypes suggest that these genes play important regulatory roles in embryogenesis and demonstrate that the development of the shoot apical meristem and the development of the embryo proper are regulated by independent processes that must be temporally coordinated to ensure normal organ identity.
