Alteration of plant morphology by fra5 overexpression. A, Six-week-old 35S::fra5 plant (right) showing short pendent stem phenotype compared with the long erect stems of the wild type (left). B, Four-week-old 35S::fra5 plant (right) showing smaller rosette leaves compared with the wild type (left). C, Four-day old light-grown 35S::fra5 seedling (right) showing the reduced root length compared with the wild type (left). D, Four-day-old etiolated 35S::fra5 seedling (right) showing the reduced hypocotyl length compared with the wild type (left). E and F, Scanning electron micrographs of leaf epidermal cells showing the reduced cell size in the 35S::fra5 plants (F) compared with the wild type (E). Bars = 81 μm for E and F.
