Figure 7. Anatomy of flowers from JcLFY overexpression and co-suppressed plants.
(A) Wild-type (WT) female flower (bar = 1 cm, unless otherwise noted). (B) JcLFY overexpression female flower. (C) JcLFY co-suppression female flower (L20) with 15–20 sepaloid organs in each flower. (D) JcLFY co-suppression female flower (L1) with 20–25 sepaloid organs in each flower (bar = 1 mm). (E) WT male flower. (F) JcLFY overexpression male flower. (G) JcLFY co-suppressed marginal flower (bisexual flower; L20) with a stamen fused to a sepaloid organ (red arrow). There are 15–20 sepaloid organs in each flower. (H) JcLFY co-suppressed marginal flower (no ovule, female flower; L20). There are 22–28 sepaloid organs in each flower (bar = 1 mm). (I) WT carpel cross section with three ovules (bar = 1 mm). (J) JcLFY overexpression carpel cross section with three ovules (bar = 1 mm). (K–P) JcLFY co-suppressed carpel cross section with ovules and the ovule cavity partially or completely absent (bar = 1 mm). Red arrows indicate ovules and pink arrows indicate the ovule cavities without ovules.
