Fig. 1. tcl1-1D is a gain-of-function dominant glabrous mutant.
(A) Trichomes on leaves of WS (top) and gpa1-2 mutant
(middle), and glabrous leaves of tcl1-1D/gpa1-2 dominant mutant
(bottom). (B) Trichomes on leaves of Col (top) and glabrous leaves of
transgenic Arabidopsis plants overexpressing HA-TCL1
(bottom). The overexpression of TCL1 was confirmed by RT-PCR (below)
using a pair of primers - one HA-specific, the other
TCL1-specific. Expression of ACTIN2 provided a control.
(C) Root hair production in WS, gpa1-2, Col, in the
tcl1-1D/gpa1-2 dominant mutant and in a transgenic plant
overexpressing HA-TCL1.
