Development of young ears in WT and sk-A7110. (A,F) Ear at the elongating stage. (B,G) Ear at the spikelet late-differentiation stage. (C,H) Ear at the floret pre-differentiation stage. Every floret includes a pair of glumes, three stamen primordia, and one pistil primordium. (D,E) Normal ear at the floret late-differentiation stage. The pistil primordia bulged and began to elongate rapidly. (I,J) The sk-A7110 ear at the floret late-differentiation stage. The pistil primordia shrinked and began to degenerate (Red arrowhead).SM, Spikelet meristem; st, Stamen primordium; pi, Pistil primordium; gl, Glume. Bars = 100 μm in (A,C,F,H) and 50 μm in (B,D,E,G,I,J).
