Fig. 5. Development of flower organs in enp and pid combinations.
Sepals (S), petals (P) and stamens (St) were scored. Mean values and standard
deviations are given. Shaded regions indicate the occurrence of organ fusion
(in % of all flowers examined; e.g. 98% fusion of sepals in
pid-15 enp/+ enp). The pid homozygous
plants developed variably reproductive gynoecia, whereas pid enp/pid
enp double mutants led to collapsed gynoecia or completely lacked
flowers. Wild-type, + +/+ enp, + enp/+ enp and
pid-x +/+ enp plants did not display conspicuous
infertility. The pid enp/+ enp plants exhibited partial
fertility, while pid-x enp/pid-x enp plants were
always sterile. *A second set of plants/flowers analysed.
**Two stems carried terminal flowers.
