Fig. 6. Genetic interaction between KNOX genes and LePHAN. (A)
Overexpression of LeT6 in Cu leaflets. (B,C) LePHAN
expression in the Cu leaf primordia and (C) leaflet primordia. (D-F)
LePHAN accumulation in the wild-type and Me plants. (D) A transverse
section of a wild-type SAM. (E,F) Transverse sections of (E) Me leaf
primordium with narrow adaxial domain, and (F) radial Me leaf.
(B,D,E) Asterisks in B,D and E indicate the LePHAN expression domains; M,
meristem. (G,H) Reduced Cu phenotypes in antiLePHAN
background. Arrowhead points to a radially symmetric expanded petiole. (I)
Cu plants showing LeT6 overexpression phenotypes. (J)
LePHAN downregulation phenotype in the antiLePHAN leaf.
(K,L) Ectopic shoots (*) on adaxial domains in Me leaf. (M-P)
Me and w6 phenotypes are dosage sensitive. (M) Unipinnate
wild-type (+/+) tomato leaf. (N) Excessively compound leaf in Me/+.
(O) Wire-like leaves in Me/Me. (P) w6/+ leaf is more lobed
than normal leaves and w6/w6 leaves are wire-like or cup-shaped.
Scale bars: (A-F) 50 µm, (K, L) 100 µm, (J) 0.5 cm and (G-I, M-P) 1
cm.
