From: A WUSCHEL-related homeobox 3B gene, depilous (dep), confers glabrousness of rice leaves and glumes
Restoration of the pubescent phenotype in a glabrous substitution line (cv. T65 background). Scanning electron micrographs of the adaxial and abaxial leaf surfaces of transgenic plants (T0) carrying the LL3scG2a (a, e), LL3scG2c (b, f) and LL3scG2g (c, g) genomic fragments, exhibiting recovery of bristle type trichomes. Hairy glumes of transgenic plants (T0) carrying the (i) LL3scG2a, (j) LL3scG2c and (k) LL3scG2g genomic fragments. Scanning electron micrographs of the leaves of the vector control showing absence of trichomes on both the (d) adaxial and (h) abaxial sides of the leaf, as well as on the (l) glumes. H=hair, BIa=bristle type Ia, BIb-bristle type Ib, BII=bristle type II.
