Figure 6.

bicat3 mutants show male gametophyte defects that lead to shorter siliques compared to the wild-type. A, Siliques of Col-0, bicat3-1, and bicat3-2. Scale bar represents 1 cm and applies to all images. B, Silique length of Col-0, bicat3-1, and bicat3-2. Data indicate means + se of 30 siliques. Data were analyzed by two-tailed Student’s t test to identify significant differences between wild-type and mutant (^***P < 0.001). C, Reciprocal crossing of Col-0 and bicat3-1. Scale bar represents 1 cm and applies to all images. The experiment was repeated twice with similar results.
