FIG. 7.

Comparison of stomatal morphologies of abo1-1 and wild-type plants. (A) Light microscopy of abaxial epidermises from mature wild-type (a) and abo1-1 (b) leaves. In wild-type plants, only normally developed guard cells with formal stomata are observed. In contrast, in the abo1-1 mutant, only one pair of guard cells forms normal stoma among two pairs of adjacent stomata. Bar, 10 μm. (B) Scanning electron microscopy of abo1-1 (abnormal) (a, b, and c) and wild-type (d) stomata. (C and D) Quantitative analyses of (C) the numbers of stomata and (D) the pairs of guard cells in abaxial epidermises of abo1-1 and wild-type (WT) plants. Values are means ± SE (n = 30). **, P < 0.01.
