From: The rice pds1 locus genetically interacts with partner to cause panicle exsertion defects and ectopic tillers in spikelets

Fig. 6

Tillering phenotype observed on a small number of exserted panicles in pds plants. a pds plant showing tillers on the exserted panicle. b High magnification of the square region in (a). c Tillers on pds panicle. d pds spikelet showing the emergence of a tiller bud at the axil of a rudimentary glume. e Magnification of a tiller bud at the axil of a rudimentary glume. f, g Tiller at the axil of a rudimentary glume. h Plants grown from cuttings of tillers on the panicle (left) and on the culm (right) of pds. h-k The development of pds spikelets showing tiller primordia emerging from the axils of the rudimentary glumes. l A young tiller emerging from the axil of the rudimentary glume. m Magnification of the square region in (l). The green arrows in all panels designate tillers, tiller buds, and tiller primordia emerging from the axils of rudimentary glumes of the spikelets. The yellow arrows in all panels designate the empty and rudimentary glumes of the spikelets. The red arrows in (i, j, k, m) designate the paleas, lemmas, and floral primordia of the spikelets. The white arrow in (h) indicates the panicle of the rice plant grown from a spikelet tiller. Bars in (a and h) = 10 cm, (b-g) = 1 cm, and (i-m) = 100 μm
