Examination of nectar production in wild-type and cwinv4 flowers

Wild-type cwinv4-1 cwinv4-2
No. of flowers with nectara 250/250 0/250 0b/250
a

Flowers were examined for nectar droplets accumulating inside sepals surrounding lateral nectaries. A minimum of ten individual plants were examined for each line.

b

Extremely limited indications of fluid very rarely appeared inside the sepals of cwinv4-2 flowers; however, no nectar droplets ever accumulated inside the flowers of these plants. These findings are in line with the leaky expression of AtCWINV4 found within cwinv4-2.
