Figure 5.

Comparison of leaf structure and morphology of the cv Forrest wild type (F-WT) and the four Gmsacpd-c mutants. A, Leaf images showing typical soybean leaf structure in the cv Forrest wild type compared with the rigid undulated phenotype presented by the Gmsacpd-c mutants. B, Leaf cross sections stained with Methylene Blue showing typical upper and lower epidermis (UE and LE), palisade and spongy mesophyll (PM and SM), and vascular bundle (VB; xylem and phloem) organization. This structure was drastically altered in the four Gmsacpd-c mutants.
