Fig. 6. Expression of PTL in pinoid mutant plants. (A)
pid-2 mutant inflorescence. (B) p2.0i::GUS expression in
pid-2 inflorescence. Rings of staining (blue) occur in the first
whorl region of two buds (arrows). (C) Transverse section of a developing
pid-2 flower at the same stage as that shown in B. M, shoot apical
meristem. (D) Longitudinal section of an older pid-2 flower showing
GUS staining (pink) accumulating in the inner region of the expanding first
whorl (arrows). Scale bars: A, 1 mm; B-D, 100 µm.
