Expression Pattern of MADS7 and MADS8 in Wild-Type and mads6-1 Flowers.
(A) Transcripts of MADS7 in the primordia of the second and third whorls in the wild-type (WT) flower at early stage Sp6.
(B) and (C) MADS7 expression signals in whorls 2, 3, and 4 of the wild-type flower at stage Sp7 (B) and Sp8 (C).
(D) to (F) MADS8 expression in the wild-type flower at early stage Sp5 (D), Sp7 (E), and Sp8 (F).
(G) to (I) Expression of MADS7 in mads6-1 flowers at stage Sp6 (G), Sp7 (H), and Sp8 (I).
(J) to (L) Expression of MADS8 in mads6-1 flowers at stage Sp6 (J), Sp7 (K), and Sp8 (L).
le, lemma; pa, palea; lo, lodicules; st, stamen; ca, carpel. Arrows indicate lodicule primordia. Bars= 50 μm in (A), (D), (G), and (J), and 100 μm in (B), (C), (E), (F), (H), (I), (K), and (L).
