The decussate-like mutant e-2. (a–d) Relative to a WT background (a,c), entire-2 (e-2) (b,d) exhibits decussate-like phyllotactic patterning. (a,b) Leaflets have been removed to better view divergence angles. (e) Between leaf pairs 1/2 and 3/4 e-2 divergence angles more closely approximate 180° compared to background genotype. (f) ‘L’ and ‘R’ depict the lengths measured to analyse shifts in lateral leaflet positioning on leaf 1 (L1–R1) and leaf 2 (L2–R2). (g) Lateral leaflets on the left and right sides of leaves show a significant negative correlation in the lateral leaflet positioning between leaves 1 and 2, indicative of a mirrored relationship between leaf pairs. Scale bars = 100 µm.
