Figure 1

The photos, floral diagram, and SEM photos of flowers between zygomorphic wild type (WT) and its two actinomorphic mutants, dorsalized (DA) and ventralized peloria (VA). (A,D) The flower of DA is actinomorphic in that all five petals are small, similar to the size of dorsal petals (color in purple) in WT. No mature stamens can be seen; (B,E) In WT, two dorsal petals (purple) are smaller than the lateral (white) and ventral ones (pink). Two stamens are located in the ventral side between lateral and ventral petals; (C,F) The flower of VA is also actinomorphic in that all five petals are of larger size, similar to lateral and ventral petals of WT. Five mature stamens were developed in VA although the dorsal one is smaller. The SEM images of DA, WT, and VA flowers during petal initiation (G–I, stage 5) and stamen initiation (J–L, stage 6) stages. dp, dorsal petal; lp, lateral petal; vp, ventral petal; st, stamen; *, staminode (aborted stamen). Bars = 50 μm.
