Figure 3. tso1-3; sol2 or tso1-5; sol2 double mutants exhibit fertility defects similar to those of tso1-1 single mutants.

Figure 3

(A) A silique (seed pod) of wild type (WT). (B) A silique of sol2-1. (C) A silique of sol2-2. (D) A tso1-3 silique. tso1-3 is in Ler background. (E) A tso1-3 silique in mixed Ler/Col background. (F) A gynoecium (a female reproductive organ) of tso1-5 that failed to develop into a silique. Note the abnormal gynoecium apical area (arrow). (G) A silique of tso1-5 (Col) formed later during plant development. (H) A silique of tso1-1; amiRTSO1. (I) A WT gynoecium consists of two fused carpels at the time of anthesis. (J–O) Absence of silique formation and the persistence of abnormal gynoecium in tso1-1 (J), tso1-1/tso1-3 (K), tso1-3; sol2-1 (L), tso1-3; sol2-2 (M), tso1-5; sol2-1 (N), and tso1-5; sol2-2 (O). Bars in H–J: 200 µm. All photos in A–O (except I) are at the same magnification. Photos of A–C were compressed vertically by 30% to fit the figure height.
