Ectopic expression of atRSZ33 affects cell size and shape, stomatal development, and formation of ectopic meristems. Plants, containing 35S:gatRSZ33 (E–H, J, and K) were compared with wild-type plants (A–D, and I) of the same age and grown under the same conditions. (A and E) Cotyledons. (B and F) Hypocotyls. (C and G) Root hairs. Arrows in G point out root hairs with abnormal branched shape. (D and H) Trichomes. (I) Stomata in the leaf epidermis of wild-type plants, arrows point out stomata precursors formed due to asymmetric cell divisions, arrows point out areas with multiple misoriented cell divisions. (J) Stomatal development in the leaf epidermis of 35S:gatRSZ33 plants. (K) Formation of stomatal clusters in the leaf epidermis of 35S:gatRSZ33 plants. (L) Ectopic structure (arrow) on the cotyledon of 10-d-old transgenic seedling. Note abnormal shape of the cotyledon surface. (M) Abaxial side of the rosette leaf with ectopic structures formed over midvein and on the edge of the leaf (indicated by arrows). (N) Ectopic meristem developed on the cotyledon surface (arrow points out enlarging trichome precursor). (O) Ectopic meristem formed in the epidermal layer of rosette leaf. Bars, 100 μm (A, B, E, and F), 200 μm (C, D, G, and H) and 25 μm (N and O).
