L1 and L2 indicate different layers of floral meristems, and R and r represent functional and non-functional alleles of the RIANT gene, respectively. White flower carrying two non-functional alleles of the RIANT gene (rr). a Pink flower derived from a periclinal chimera. b Pink flower with red somatic sectors derived from a mericlinal chimera. c White flower with pink somatic sectors derived from a mericlinal chimera. d White flower with red somatic sectors derived from a sectorial chimera. e Red flowering carrying one functional and one non-functional allele of the RIANT gene.
