gata mutants have impaired floral morphology and flowering time. A, Phenotypic analysis of sepal and petal numbers in the wild-type and the gata gene mutant backgrounds. Percentages indicate the penetrance of the displayed floral phenotype. The wild-type flower phenotype represents about 98% of all flowers analyzed; the frequency of aberrant flowers is similar to that of the gnc gnl mutant. B, C, Representative photographs (side and top views) of wild-type and gata gene mutants grown for 5 weeks in long-day (16 h light/8 h dark) (B) or for 10 weeks in short-day (8 h light/16 h dark) conditions (C). Scale bar = 5 cm.
