Expression pattern of DL in flowers. A to C, In situ hybridization of DL mRNA in wild-type flowers. A, At stage Sp6, when the stamen primordia are forming, DL transcripts were detected in the midrib of the lemma. B, At stage Sp7, when the carpel primordia are forming, DL mRNA was observed in the wild-type carpel primordium. C, At stage Sp8, when the ovule is forming, the expression of DL was still observed in the wild-type carpel. D to F, In situ hybridization of DL mRNA in osmads13-3 flowers. D, At stage Sp7, DL transcripts were detected in the osmads13-3 carpel primordium. E, At stage Sp8, DL expression signal was observed in the osmads13-3 carpel (indicated by the arrow). F, At late stage Sp8, DL expression was strongly detectable in the indeterminate organ within the carpel in one osmads13-3 flower. The signal is indicated by the arrow. G, Normal expression of DL in osmads3-4 at stage Sp7. H, Ectopic expression of DL in osmads3-4 osmads13-3 at stage Sp8. ca, Carpel; fm, floral meristem; le, lemma; lo, lodicule; pa, palea; st, stamen. Bars = 50 μm in A and 100 μm in B to H.
