Figure 1. Embryo developmental processes are impaired in rpl18aB plant.

Figure 1

(A) Diagram of the RPL18aB genomic DNA and the insertion sites for the T-DNA. The RPL18aB gene (AT2g34480) has four exons. The T-DNA inserted into the fourth exon in rpl18aB-1 and the T-DNA was inserted into the promoter at 23 bp upstream of the ATG start codon in rpl18aB-2. Micrographs of siliques of wild type (B), rpl18aB-1 plant (C), rpl18aB-2 plant (D) and genomic complemented line (E). Silique of wild type and genomic complemented line show only green seeds (B,E), while rpl18aB plant silique showing normal green seeds and white seeds indicated by arrow head (C,D). (F,G) Micrographs of seeds of rpl18aB-1 plant. In the rpl18aB-1 plant, when wild type embryo develops totorpedo-shaped embryo (F), the mutant embryo shows a globular-shaped embryo (G). Bars = 500 μm for (B) to (E) and 20 μm for (F,G).
