Trichome and Growth Phenotype of L. japonicus Wild-Type Gifu, nap1-1, pir1-1, and pir1-1 nap1-1 Double Mutant Plants.
(A) to (F) Trichomes on the wild type ([A] to [C]) and the nap1-2 mutant ([D] to [F]). Images of trichomes formed on fully expanded flowers ([A] and [D]), stem internodes ([B] and [E]), and the abaxial surface of the leaf midvein ([C] and [F]) are shown. Bars = 1 mm in (A), (C), (D), and (F) and 500 μm in (B) and (E).
(G) to (I) Flower of wild-type (G), pir1-1 (H), and nap1-1 (I) showing the trichome phenotype of the sepals. Bars = 5 mm.
(J) to (R) Pod and seed phenotype of wild-type ([J] to [L]), pir1-1 ([M] to [O]), and nap1-1 ([P] to [R]). Bars = 1 cm.
(S) and (T) Shoot growth phenotype and developmental status of 9-week-old soil-grown wild-type, pir1-1, nap1-1, and pir1-1 nap1-1 plants. The fractions of plants that reached the stages of flowering (black bars) and pod development (cross hatched bars) are shown. Results are shown for two different pir1-1 nap1-1 lines.
