Sde1A and Bmi1 genes show synergistic and antagonistic interactions. A–D, Comparison of phenotypes of representative leaf no. 6 of wt (A), bmi1a-2 (B), bmi1b-4 (C), and bmi1c-1 (D) plants. E, F, Violin plots of the number of first-order (E) and second-order (F) leaflets of wt, bmi1a-2, bmi1b-4, and bmi1c-1 plants. G, Violin plots of the mean number of ectopic shoots in wt, bmi1a-2, bmi1b-2, and bmi1c-1 plants (G). H and I, Violin plots of the number of empty leaf axils (%) in sde1a in combination with bmi1a, bmi1b, or bmi1c mutant plants in a sensitized (VF36, H) and a nonsensitized (Moneymaker, I) sde1a background. Median values are indicated by a black or white circle. n values in (E–I) represent the number of individual plants. P-values were determined by two-tailed, two-sample t tests.
