Ghost phenotype in a gid1abc triple mutant seedling. (a) A gid1b/b c/c a/+ heterozygous seedlings displayed a wild-type phenotype, whereas (b) the homozygous gid1abc triple mutant displayed a ghost-seedling phenotype similar to ga1-3 HA:GID1-OE lines, including cotyledon-first germination, the failure of root elongation, and loss of green coloration in the cotyledons and first leaves. (c) A small percentage of gid1abc triple mutant completed the embryo-to-seedling transition, developing roots and shoots. Bar = 50 mm.
