Fig. 7. Size of axillary meristems in the axils of the oldest two leaves of wild-type (wt), max1-1 and max2-1 plants analysed by scanning electron microscopy. The area occupied by axillary meristematic zones or axillary meristems prior to axillary leaf primordium formation was measured on scanning electron micrographs of individual leaf axils. Relative frequency distribution is shown. Number of measurements: wild type n=37, max1-1 n=16, max2-1 n=33.
