Activated transcription factors of BRI1-BRs signaling can rescue ems1 and tpd1 mutants. a bes1-D and bzr1-1D rescued the male sterile phenotypes of ems1 and tpd1 mutants. Primary inflorescences (top) and Alexander staining of pollen grains in mature anthers (bottom) showing the fertility phenotypes of bzr1-1Dems1, bes1-Dems1, bzr1-1Dtpd1 and bes1-Dtpd1 double mutants. b Semi-thin sections of stage-5 anther lobes showing four somatic cell layers, including epidermis (E), endothecium (En), the middle layer (ML) and tapetum (T), as well as reproductive microsporocytes (M) in the center of bzr1-1Dems1, bes1-Dems1, bzr1-1Dtpd1 and bes1-Dtpd1 double mutants, respectively. Scale bars, 10 μm. c BIN2 inhibited EMS1-TPD1 signaling. Phenotypes of 7-week-old transgenic plants expressing BRI1, BRI1-EMS1, EMS1 and TPD1 under the control of BRI1 promoter in bin2-1D (+/−) and bin2-1D (−/−) plants. Scale bar, 5 cm. d Analyses of the expression levels of the transgenes in the rosette leaves of the corresponding plants shown in c. Proteins with GFP tag were detected with anti-GFP antibody. Actin served as a loading control. TPD1 expression was detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. ACT2 served as an internal control
