The ap2m Mutant Plants Show Multiple Morphological Abnormalities.

(A) Images of whole plants. Wild-type (WT), ap2m mutants (two alleles, ap2m-1 and ap2m-2), and rescued ap2m-1 plants with AP2M:Mycx3 (two independent lines, AP2M_pro:AP2M:Mycx3-1 and AP2M_pro:AP2M:Mycx3-2) were grown on soil and images were taken 6 weeks after planting. Bars = 10 cm.

(B) Siliques of wild-type, two alleles of ap2m, and rescued ap2m-1 plants. Images were taken from the indicated types of plants. Bar = 2 cm.

(C) Reduction of seed production in ap2m mutants. Seeds were counted from 25 siliques/primary inflorescence from the indicated plants. Error bar indicates se (n = 20 plants). Statistical analysis was performed between wild-type and ap2m-1 mutants using Student’s t test (*P < 0.01).
