Patterns of Tf transcript accumulation in the tomato shoot tip. Longitudinal (A, C, and E) and transverse (B, D) sections through the SAM (A, B) and leaf primordia (C–E) of vegetative shoot apices from 2-wk-old MM plants were hybridized with a Tf antisense probe. Asterisks in (A and B) point to leaf initiation site, arrow in (B) to blastozone. Arrowheads in (C and D) indicate leaflet boundary. LL, lateral leaflet primordium; P, leaf primordium; S, stem. (Scale bar: A, C, and E, 200 μm; B and D, 100 μm.)
