Flower and Seed Phenotypes Associated with Repression of Jekyll.

(A) Reduction of gynoecium and anther size in transgenics.

(B) Uptake of sucrose (in dots per minute [dpm]) by developing flowers in the wild type and line N91 (averaged from 15 independent measurements and represented in a logarithmic scale; means ± sd are shown).

(C) Total RNA from the wild type and transgenics at 4, 8, and 12 DAF hybridized with jekyll probe (above) and 25S rDNA (below).

(D) Changes in size and form of 4-DAF caryopses of the wild type and transgenics.

(E) Decrease in size and change in morphology of 12-DAF wild-type and transgenic caryopses. Orientations of anatomical cross sections are marked by dashed lines (α). Changes in seed anatomy are indicated by red arrows. e, endosperm; p, pericarp. Bars = 1 mm.
