Figure 4. Dominant negative interference of AtNMD3 function causes pleiotropic morphogenetic defects.

Figure 4

A, B. Seventeen-day-old seedlings of wild-type Colombia (Col-0) (A) and AtNMD3ΔNES OE line (B) show similarities in the overall shape. C shows the dwarf phenotype of the AtNMD3ΔNES OE line (right). D. Enlarged image of inflorescence (Col-0 at left). E shows the rosette leaves of the AtNMD3ΔNES OE line having an obvious zig-zag margin. F to I show obviously elongated cells in both adaxial and abaxial leaf sides of the AtNMD3ΔNES OE lines (H, I), compared to Col-0 (F, G). J, K shows the petals of the AtNMD3ΔNES OE lines with less organized cells and no obvious vascular veins (K), compared to that of Col-0 (J). L, M shows reduced stamen of the AtNMD3ΔNES OE lines (M) compared to Col-0 (L). N and O show curved carpel cells of the AtNMD3ΔNES OE lines (O), compared to Col-0 (N). P shows enlarged seeds of the AtNMD3ΔNES OE lines. Bar = 100 µm.
