Fig. 1. Abscission phenotype and petal breakstrength of bop1 bop2. (A) Inflorescences of wild-type Arabidopsis plants (Col-0, left) abscise floral organs while bop1 bop2 plants (right) retain their floral organs. (B) Abscission in wild-type flowers occurs between positions 5 and 7. (C) Floral organs of bop1 bop2 never abscise. (D) Petal breakstrength measurements of wild-type flowers (black bars) decrease with floral age, while bop1 bop2 flowers (grey bars) show no change in force over time. Error bars represent s.d. n=30 per genotype.
