BOP and PUCHI Are Expressed Independently of Each Other.

(A) BOP1 mRNA in longitudinal section of the wild-type inflorescence apex.

(B) BOP1 mRNA in longitudinal section of the puchi-1 inflorescence apex.

(C) BOP2 mRNA in longitudinal section of the wild-type inflorescence apex.

(D) BOP2 mRNA in longitudinal section of the puchi-1 inflorescence apex.

(E) PUCHI mRNA in longitudinal section of bop1-4 bop2-11 the inflorescence apex, showing expression in the stage 1 primordium.

(F) PUCHI mRNA in longitudinal section of the bop1-4 bop2-11 inflorescence apex, showing expression in the stage 2 primordia. PUCHI expression is unaffected (cf. [E] with Figure 4A) except in the late stage 2 flower, in which it tends to localize to the inner cells (cf. [F], arrow, with Figure 4B).
