Functional validation of candidate genes in A. thaliana by loss-of-function mutation.

Caption

Functional validation of candidate genes in A. thaliana by loss-of-function mutation. (A) Floral organ positioning in Col-0 wild-type plant. (B) Floral organ positioning in the wild-type Col-0. The arrow indicates P6 where floral organs start to abscise. (C) Floral organ and silique positioning on cad9. The arrow indicates P13, the last position that retains its floral organs. (D) Microscope images of siliques and floral organ abscission behavior across floral position in wild-type (Col-0) and loss-of-function mutant cad9. (E) Wild-type Col-0 plant, 6 weeks after germination. (F) myb62 mutant 6 weeks after germination. The arrows point to senesced siliques. (G) Senesced siliques on myb62 mutant. (H) 4cl5 mutant 6 weeks after germination. The arrows point to senesced siliques.
