Visual Phenotype of Cutinase-Expressing Arabidopsis Plants.

(A) Cutinase-expressing plant with a fusion between the inflorescence and a cauline leaf. The point of fusion is marked by an arrow.

(B) Inflorescence of a cutinase-expressing plant with multiple organ fusion events between a series of flowers of different ages and among flower organs, leading to sterility. The points of cell contacts are hidden.

C, cauline leaf; F, flower; I, inflorescence; mF, mature flower; sF, senescing flower.
