Flower buds of WT and YX-1 mutant of wolfberry. B. Stamens from WT and YX-1 buds. C. Flowers of WT and YX-1, note the reduced stamen filament relative to the WT, appearing beneath the receptive stigma. D. Cross-section of WT anther from the same stage as in B, note the normal developed tapetum (T) and tetrads. E. Cross-section of YX-1 anther from the same stage as in B, note the premature tapetum (T) and degraded tetrads (Te), both with masses of small bright vacuoles.
