S- > C ‘clv’ families exhibit phenotypic variation between genetically identical plants. A A pedigree outlining the relatedness of the sampled S- > C 9–3 families. Sampled families are written in red and identified by a Greek letter (α-ε). All families were homozygous for both S and C. B The number of petals produced per flower varied within different S- > C 9–3 ‘clv’ families.’ C Silique and D developing inflorescence phenotypes produced by the S- > C 9–3 transgenic families. Mirroring the petal number data, with the δ family exhibiting the most severe qualitative ‘clv’ phenotypes. Letters denote statistically similar (p > 0.05) groups, as determined by ANOVA with post hoc Tukey’s HSD test. C9 was excluded from this statistical analysis to allow the use of a parametric test. Error bars indicate +/− standard error. Scale bars denote 0.5 cm. For each group in B, petals were counted for at least 11 individuals
