| | Memorizing the floral ABC 17
Homeotic genes control the development of cell groups – from body segments in the fruitfly Drosophila to floral organs. The cloning of the CURLY LEAF gene in Arabidopsis reveals similar regulation of homeotic genes in this plant as in Drosophila.

| | Human cloning requires a moratorium, not a ban 1
Unprecedented media coverage of cloning highlights a genuine need for reflection by society. Research into animal cloning need not be hindered, but a declared moratorium on human cloning is desirable.
