Characterization of <i>dil1</i> mutant phenotype.

<p><b>A</b>. <i>dil1</i> mutant plants (9-weeks-old) are characterized by their reduced plant height and smaller leaf angles as compared to the wild type plants. <b>B</b>. Stalks of wild type and <i>dil1</i> mutant plants (9-weeks-old) with leaves and ears removed. <b>C</b>. Wild type (upper) and <i>dil</i>338 mutant (lower panel) seedlings six days after germination in dark. <b>D</b>. Abaxial surface of the first leaf below the ear in 9-weeks-old wild type and <i>dil1</i> mutant plants. <b>E</b> and <b>F</b>. Close look of abaxial (E) and adaxial (F) surfaces of the first leaf below the ear in 9-weeks-old wild type and <i>dil1</i> mutant plants.
