Wild-type
Mutant
Mutant Arabidopsis rosette diameters are smaller on average than wild-type. This is clearly
evident in the above graph showing the average rosette width in the first 28 days after
planting, and in the photo (inset) showing 16 day old wild-type and mutant plants.
Mutant Arabidopsis plants respond differently to experimental growth conditions than
wild-type. As can be seen in the above graph, experimental growth conditions (low light
intensity) result in an overall reduction in average wild-type rosette diameter, but almost no
reduction in average mutant rosette diameter.
Mutant
Wild-type
Mutant Arabidopsis plants bolt later and are shorter on average than wild-type plants.
This is clearly evident in the above graph showing average bolt height from 23 to 44 days
after planting, and in the photo (inset) showing 23 day old wild-type and mutant plants.
