Alteration of Plant Growth by the fra8 Mutation.

(A) and (B) Eight-week-old plants showing shorter stems in fra8 (B) compared with the wild type (A). Bars = 4.9 cm.

(C) Quantitative measurement of stem heights of 8-week-old wild-type and fra8 plants. Error bars represent se.

(D) Quantitative measurement of the sizes of the fifth rosette leaves of 4-week-old wild-type and fra8 plants.

(E) and (F) Four-week-old plants showing smaller rosette leaves in fra8 (F) compared with the wild type (E). Bars = 15 mm.

(G) and (H) Rosette leaves of a fra8 plant were well expanded in the early morning (G) but were slightly wilted in the sunny afternoon (H) under the greenhouse conditions. Bars = 9 mm.
