Fig. 3. Phenotypes of 35S::AS1 and 35S::AS2 transgenic plants.
(A) Seedling carrying 35S::AS2 in the Ler background. (B) A
plant containing 35S::AS2 in the as2-101 mutant background.
(C) Plant carrying the 35S::AS1 in the Ler background
showing dark green leaves. (D-F) Adaxial lamina epidermis of (D) Ler,
(E) 35S::AS2/Ler and (F) 35S::AS1/Ler.
Note that since leaves of 35S::AS2/Ler seedlings are curled
upwards, only the central portion of the adaxial surface is visible. (G-I)
Abaxial lamina epidermis of (G) Ler, (H) 35S::AS2 and (I)
35S::AS1. First pairs of rosette leaves were used for the SEM images.
t, three-branched trichome. Scale bars: 1 mm (A-C); 0.05 mm (D-I).
