Morphological Alteration of Line 25 Petals Is Correlated with Reduction of the Epidermal Cell Surface in the Limb Portion of Line 25.

(A) and (C) Comparison between wild-type and line 25 petal tubes (A) or petal limbs (C) at anthesis.

(B) and (D) Cell surface of the adaxial and abaxial epidermises of wild-type and line 25 petal tubes (B) and petal limbs (D). Both tube and limb epidermises were divided into five subportions (a, b, c, d, and e), starting from the basal part of the organ. Error bars represent standard error; n = 80.
