Fig. 4. Early floral morphology of mutants with lfy-6 or lfy-5 alleles. (A) A lfy-6 bud at about late stage 6 showing leaf-like primordia (ll). (B,C) Two lfy-6 flowers with leaf-like organs. The flower in B is younger than the flower in C. (D) A lfy-5 bud at about late stage 6 showing stamen primordia (st) and carpel primordia (g). (E) A stage 9 lfy-5 bud with obvious stamens (st), petals (p) and carpels (g) in the center. (F) A stage 11 lfy-5 bud with normal stamens, petal and two curled carpels. (G) A lfy-5 ask1-1 bud at about stage 6 showing spiral leaf-like primordia that were similar to those in the lfy-6 bud at the same stage. (H,I) Two lfy-5 ask1-1 flowers showing a similar phenotype to that of the lfy-6 flower. The flower in H is younger than the flower in I. Scale bars, A, 10 µm; B (B,H), 50 µm: C (C,F,I), 50 µm; D (D,G), 10 µm; E, 50 µm.
