Figure 3. Inflorescence phenotypes of p35S:UFO-VP16 Arabidopsis plants.

Figure 3

(A–F) p35S:UFO-VP16 inflorescence with a medium phenotype showing the developing flowers (outlined in red) produced by the primary inflorescence meristem (red star) (A - top view, B - side view) and by the cauline leaves (blue star) shown at different developmental stages (A–E); the developing co-florescence meristem (green star) and the transformed cauline leaf primordium (C) fail to separate leading to a fasciated structure (E); flowers show reduced and short petals, stamens and carpels (F). (G–J) p35S:UFO-VP16 inflorescence with a strong phenotype showing an disordered inflorescence meristem (red star) with delayed development of the floral primordia (G) that eventually bolts to produce flowers (H) with serrated floral organs and short pedicels (I-top panel, J) and cauline leaves (blue star) with ectopic disordered floral meristems (G) that develop into abnormal flowers (I-bottom panel). (K) p35S:UFOdelFVP16 flowers with a medium ufo-1 like phenotype. Bar = 0.1 mm (A-D, G).
