Figure 4. — Knockout of ftsZ3 Affects Plant and Chloroplast Morphology.

(A) Wild-type and ftsZ3 gametophyte (scale bars = 1 mm).

(B) Micrographs of leaf cells of the wild-type and ΔftsZ3 (scale bar = 50 μm) under brightfield and UV-fluorescence.

(C) Cell patterning in leaf cells of WT (upper panel) and ΔftsZ3 (lower panel). Cell walls were traced using graphical software.

(D) Stereo and light microscope images of gametophores and leaves from WT and ΔftsZ3 grown in parallel under standard conditions for 4 weeks.

(E) Measurement of gametophore and leaf dimensions. Columns represent the average length of gametophores (n = 14) and length and width of leaves (n = 20) grown on Knop medium for 4 weeks. Error bars indicate the absolute average deviation (AAD). Asterisks indicate significant differences between WT and ΔftsZ3 (t-test, P ≤ 0.001).
