Figure 8

Light micrographs of floral organs from AqANS -silenced flowers and SEM images of each organ type. Light micrographs (a-e). SEM images (f-o). (a) Sepal. (b) Petal. (c) Stamen. (d) Staminodium. (e) Carpel. (f, k) Adaxial (f) and abaxial (k) surfaces of the sepal. (g, l) Adaxial (g) and abaxial (l) surfaces of the petal. (h, m) Anther (h) and filament (m) surfaces of the stamen. (i, n) Adaxial (i) and abaxial (n) surfaces of the staminodium. (j, o) Ovary wall (j) and stylar (o) surfaces of the carpel. The morphologies of all the organs conform to normal wildtype appearance [32]. Size bars in (a-b) = 2 mm, (c-e) = 1 mm, (f-o) = 50 μm.
