ABC model of flower development well as in the determination of the floral meristem. Therefore, the "AG" mutants are devoid of androecium and gynoecium and they have petals and sepals in their place. In addition, the growth in the centre of the flower is undifferentiated, therefore the petals and sepals grow in repetitive verticils. The "PLENA" ("PLE") gene is present in "A. majus", in place of the "AG" gene, although it is not an ortholog. However, the "FARINELLI" ("FAR") gene is an ortholog, which is specific to the development of the anthers and the maturation of pollen. In "Petunia", "Antirrhinum" and in maize the C
Pollen within larger families such as Curculionidae, Chrysomelidae, Cerambycidae, and Scarabaeidae are pollen specialists even though most members of their families are not (e.g., only 36 of 40000 species of ground beetles, which are typically predatory, have been shown to eat pollen—but this is thought to be a severe underestimate as the feeding habits are only known for 1000 species). Similarly, Ladybird beetles mainly eat insects, but many species also eat pollen, as either part or all of their diet. Hemiptera are mostly herbivores or omnivores but pollen feeding is known (and has only been well studied in the Anthocoridae). Many
