Abnormal morphology of transgenic Arabidopsis plants of constitutively expressed TeAG1 gene. a-k The morphological trait of Sl-TeAG1 lines and wild-type lines. (a) The wild-type seedling; (b) The transgenic seedlings with severe curled rosette leaves; (c) Wild-type (left) and early flowering transgenic plant (right); (d, f) normal flowers of wild-type; (e, g) mutant flowers of the transgenic plant; (h) Wild-type (right) and the dwarfing transgenic plant (left); (j, k) The siliques of transgenic lines are short and yellowish-green with persistented sepals, petals and stamens compared to those from wild-type (i). se: sepal; pe: petal; st: stamen; pi: pistil, ca-se: carpelloid sepals; st-pe: stamen-like petal; WT1: wild-type line 1; WT2: wild-type line 2; WL1: Wl-TeAG1 line 1; WL2: Wl-TeAG1 line 2; SL1: Sl-TeAG1 line 1; SL2: Sl-TeAGL1 line 2. a-c, bar = 5 mm, d-k, bar = 1 mm.
