Plants with slightly curled leaves that were wider than cpr1 were called intermediate in phenotypic categorization. Chimeric M1 plants were those that developed chimeric sectors of wild type-looking leaves and stems. 3A, 3B, and 3C: Lines for which representative M2 plants are shown in Figure 3A to 3C.
