Fig. 8. Autonomous seed development in gametophytic maternal effect mutants. Mature
flower buds were emasculated. (A-G) After 7 days, pistil elongation was
scored. Scale bar: 1 mm. (H-N) Pistils were then slit open in order to observe
seeds (arrows) and undeveloped ovules. Scale bar: 200 µm. (A,H) WT KS117;

fis2-6/FIS2; (E,L) fie-11/FIE; (F,M) bga-1/BGA;
(G,N) msi1-2/MSI1.
