Fig. 1: Phenotypic changes of the hel mutant.

From: The loss of function of HEL, which encodes a cellulose synthase interactive protein, causes helical and vine-like growth of tomato

Fig. 1

a, b Seedlings of Pyriforme and the hel mutant at 7, 10, 14, 17 DAG, respectively. The right-handed helical growth of leaves in the hel mutant shifted to left-handedness between the 3rd and 6th leaves (at approximately 14 DAG). DAG, days after germination. c, d Petals of Pyriforme and the hel mutant. e, f Pistils of Pyriforme and the hel mutant. g Plant height of Pyriforme and the hel mutant. The error bars are the standard deviations. h Fruit set of Pyriforme and the hel mutant. Significant differences are represented by black asterisks, ***P < 0.0001. i, k Inflorescence branch of Pyriforme and the hel mutant, respectively. j, l Fruits of Pyriforme and the hel mutant, respectively. Scale bars, 2 cm (a, b), 1 cm (c, d, i–l), 1 mm (e, f)
