Figure 1From: Characterization of TM8, a MADS-box gene expressed in tomato flowers35S:TM8 plant phenotype. Wild-type tomato flower (A) and flowers of the lines 35S:TM8#16 and 35S:TM8#11 (B,C) over-expressing the TM8 gene and showing splayed out stamens. ESEM (environmental scanning electron microscopy) pictures of a wild-type staminal cone (D) showing the interweaving hairs of the adjoining anthers and a transgenic splayed out cone of the line 35S:TM8#16 (E) showing an anther not joined to others.Back to article page
