Figure 3. Reproductive growth phenotypes of NDL1 over-expression lines.

Twelve week old Arabidopsis plants over-expressing CFP and MYC-NDL1 under the control of the 35 S promoter were used for phenotypic analyses. (A) Ectopic over-expression of NDL1 causes a silique to emerge from another silique, which contains an open carpel bearing ovules. (B) Open siliques emerging from a single pedicel. (C) Shoots of agb1-2 mutant plants contain abnormal terminal flowers. Red arrows mark open ovules, and black arrows mark pistils emerging from a silique.
