Phenotype of the rpe1 Mutant.

(A) Gross morphology of wild-type Fijiminori (left) and the rpe1 mutant (right) at the ripening stage. Bar = 30 cm.

(B) Flowers of the wild type (left) and rpe1 (right). Cp, carpel; Le, lemma; Lo, lodicle; Pl, palea; St, stamen. Bar = 2 mm.

(C) Mature stamens of the wild type (left) and rpe1 (right). An, anther; Fl, filament. Bar = 1 mm.

(D) Pistils of the wild type (left) and rpe1 (right). Bar = 1 mm.

(E) Pollen grains stained with I₂-KI solution. Wild type (left) and rpe1 (right). Pollen grains staining black were judged as viable, and those staining yellow or light red were judged as sterile. Bars = 100 μm.
