RR staining of mucilage polysaccharides around seeds hydrated in water. Images show RR staining of mucilage released from seeds. Stars mark seeds that float on water. Relative to wild-type seeds (A), muci70 and gaut11 single mutants release less mucilage (B–E). No mucilage is released from the muci70 gaut11 double mutant (F) or muci70 irx14 seeds (H). In the irx14 single mutant (G), mucilage is released but detaches from the seed surface. The 35S:MUCI70-sYFP transgene rescues the impaired mucilage release and the seed flotation defects of the muci70-2 mutant (I). Bars = 0.4 mm.
