From: Genetic evidence suggests that GIS functions downstream of TCL1 to regulate trichome formation in Arabidopsis

Trichome formation on main inflorescences of Col-0 wild type, the gis mutant and the 35S:TCL1 and 35S:TCL1/gis transgenic plants. (a) Trichomes on the main inflorescence stems of the Col-0 wild type, the gis mutant and the 35S:TCL1 and 35S:TCL1/gis transgenic plants. Photographs were taken from the main inflorescence stems of 5-week-old soil-grown plants. Note that the trichome patterning and the morphology of the trichomes on the main inflorescence stem of the 35S:TCL1/gis plant was similar to that of the gis mutant. (b) Trichome density on the internodes of main inflorescence stems in the Col-0 wild type, the gis mutant and the 35S:TCL1 and 35S:TCL1/gis transgenic plants. Number of trichomes on the each internode was count, the length of the internodes was measured, and the trichome density was calculated. Data represent the mean ± SD of 10 plants. Significantly different form that in the 35S:TCL1 transgenic plants (*P < 0.0001, #P < 0.005) (c) Trichomes on the main inflorescences of the Col-0 wild type, the gis mutant and the 35S:TCL1 and 35S:TCL1/gis transgenic plants. Photographs were taken from the main inflorescences of 5-week-old soil-grown plants
