Abnormalities of Leaf Vascular Patterns of rdr6-3 as2-101 Mutant Plants.

(A) Venations of cotyledons in wild-type, as2-101, rdr6-3, and rdr6-3 as2-101 plants.

(B) Venations of the first rosette leaves in wild-type, as2-101, rdr6-3, and rdr6-3 as2-101 plants.

(C) Venations of petals in wild-type, as2-101, rdr6-3, and rdr6-3 as2-101 flowers.

(D) Venations of sepals in wild-type, as2-101, rdr6-3, and rdr6-3 as2-101 flowers. Note that venations of all leaves, sepals, and petals became very simple in the rdr6-3 as2-101 mutant plants.

(E) and (F) Quantitative analyses of NBPs in wild-type and rdr6-3 as2-101 leaves. Bars show standard deviation. Secondary leaf veins (E); tertiary leaf veins (F).

All mutants are in the Ler genetic background. Bars = 1 mm in (A) and (B) and 5 mm in (C) and (D).
