Fig. 1From: Identification of a SiCL1 gene controlling leaf curling and capsule indehiscence in sesame via cross-population association mapping and genomic variants screeningPhenotype comparison of mutant cl1 and the wild type (WT). a: Morphological comparison of leaf and capsule in cl1 and the wild type (WT, var. Yuzhi 11). In mutant cl1, the positive leaf blade is curly, while humps present on the veins of back blade. The capsule tip constrains, and the capsule peel becomes thick. b: Cross- section of leaf blades of the one-pair-leaf-old seedlings of cl1 and Yuzhi 11. c: Cross- section of leaf blades of the two-pair-leaf-old seedlings of cl1 and Yuzhi 11. The PC (ab) and PC (ad) tissues in veins arrange horizontally, and the adaxial/abaxial character is reduced. UE: upper epidemis. LE: lower epidemis. PC (ad): adaxial parenchyma cell. PC (ab): abaxial parenchyma cell. VB: vascular bundle cells. Bar = 100 μmBack to article page
