Figure 1


Fig. 1. The stoichiometry of LFY and UFO is important in flower development. (A) Inflorescences of 35S::UFO-Myc, 35S::UFO-Myc; lfy-26/+ and 35S::UFO-Myc; lfy-26 plants (from the left). Most flowers of 35S::UFO-Myc; lfy-26/+ produce siliques, whereas 35S::UFO-Myc flowers are completely infertile. Arrows indicate extra co-florescences on 35S::UFO-Myc; lfy-26 plants. Representative plants were siblings obtained from a segregating F4 population. (B) 35S::UFO-Myc flower with extra petals and stamens. Carpels are transformed to stamenoid organs. (C) A representative 35S::UFO-Myc;lfy-26/+ flower; most such flowers are phenotypically normal, except that they produce curved siliques. (D) A representative 35S::UFO-Myc; lfy-26 flower that is indistinguishable from lfy-26 mutant flowers. (E) Comparison of stamenoid fourth whorl organs from 35S::UFO-Myc (left) and two siliques from 35S::UFO-Myc; lfy-26/+plants (right). Scale bar: 2 mm. (F) Comparison of a rosette leaf from 35S::UFO-Myc (left), 35S::UFO-Myc; lfy-26/+ (middle) and 35S::UFO-Myc; lfy-26 plants (right).
