  In this talk it is reported on an analysis of the form factors for the
transitions from a photon to one of the pseudoscalar mesons pi0, eta, eta',
etac within the modified perturbative approach in which quark transverse
degrees of freedom are retained. The report is focused on the discussion of the
surprising features the new BaBar data exhibit, namely the sharp rise of the
pi-gamma form factor with the photon virtuality and the strong breaking of
flavor symmetry in the sector of pseudoscalar mesons.
