Phenotypic analyses of the shoot apical meristem and the axillary meristem in <i>ndlM</i> mutant plants.

<p>(<b>A-E</b>) Field-emission scanning electron microscopy images of the shoot apical meristem (SAM) and the axillary meristem (AM) in <i>ndlM</i> mutants. Developing SAMs were analyzed at various stages of vegetative growth (<b>A</b>) Two-day-old plant. (<b>B</b>) Four-day-old plant. (<b>C</b>) Eight-day-old plant. (<b>D</b>) Fourteen-day-old plant. (<b>E</b>) Three-week-old plant. The arrows in (D) and (E) indicate the positions of the SAMs and the AMs. (<b>F</b>) <i>ndlM</i> plant showing twin rosettes. The white arrows point to each rosette head. LP: leaf primordia, (A-E) Scale bars = 20 µm.
