Phenotypic characterization of cotton hybrid lethality. (A) Phenotypes and genotypes of the normal parent lines TM-1 and Coastland R4-4 in the field in Nanjing, and of lethal F1 plants in the field in Nanjing and Sanya. The blue arrow indicates necrotic spots and yellow arrows indicate flower buds. D11 and D8 refer to chromosomes D11 and D08, respectively; (B) Leaves from lethal and normal F1 plants at four different developmental stages (S1–S4). The scale bars in images of complete leaves are 1 cm; in images of leaf details the bars are 0.1 cm (C) Chlorophyll content of leaves of normal and lethal F1 plants. (D) TEM images of leaves of lethal and normal F1 plants in stage S4. CP, chloroplast; CW, cell wall; SG, starch grain. Chloroplast envelopes of lethal F1 plants are blurred and the thylakoid membrane is abnormal.
