Quantitative Phenotypic Analyses of the bp pny, knat2 bp pny, knat6 bp pny, and knat2 knat6 bp pny Mutants.

Ten plants for each genotype were analyzed.

(A) Average (+sd) height of wild-type, bp pny, knat2 bp pny, knat6 bp pny, and knat2 knat6 bp pny plants. The shorter size of bp pny was partially rescued in the absence of KNAT6 and to a lesser extent in the absence of KNAT2.

(B) Average (+sd) number of rosette paraclades of wild-type, bp pny, knat2 bp pny, knat6 bp pny, and knat2 knat6 bp pny plants. The bp pny partial loss of apical dominance was partially rescued in the absence of KNAT6 and to a lesser extent in the absence of KNAT2.

(C) Distribution of the length of the internode between two successive siliques. Ten internodes between the 1st and 11th siliques (counting acropetally) were measured. The reduced size of internodes observed in bp pny was partially rescued in the absence of KNAT6 and to a lesser extent in the absence of KNAT2.

(D) Orientation of the pedicels in the wild type, bp pny, knat2 bp pny, knat6 bp pny, and knat2 knat6 bp pny.
