Simon It is just because in the species that I have discussed the carpels are the last organs to develop in the centre of the flower. There are a few exceptions in other plants where the carpels are not so central. We can introduce homeotic mutants that replace carpels with sepals or petals, and the same effects are seen.

Kyriacou The implications of that experiment with dClock are that in the more primitive insects, where the oscillators are located more out in the optic lobes, dClock may have had a direct effect on placing those cells there, in the same way that homeotic master control genes can put Drosophila eyes anywhere.
