a, b, Wild-type (a) and ap2-7 mutant (b) sepals. c, f Heat maps of averaged area expansion (c, e) and cell sizes (d, f) of wild-type (c, d) and ap2–7 mutant (e, f) sepals. g, h Quantifications of area expansion (g) and cell sizes (h) of wild-type sepal (n = 354 cells at 3 DAI; n = 707 cells at 4 DAI; n = 832 cells at 5 DAI; n = 1803 cells at 6 DAI; n = 2457 cells at 7 DAI; n = 3145 cells at 8 DAI; three independent time-lapse series) and ap2–7 mutant sepal (n = 73 cell at 2 DAI; n = 132 cells at 3 DAI; n = 375 cells at 4 DAI; n = 566 cells at 5 DAI; n = 881 cells at 6 DAI; n = 1299 cells at 7 DAI; n = 2135 cells at 8 DAI; n = 3279 cells at 9 DAI; n = 1294 cells at 10 DAI; three independent time-lapse series) along the longitudinal axis of the organ. For plots, the distance was normalized, lines represent the average and shaded areas represent standard deviation (SD). DAI days after organ initiation. Scale bars, 500 µm (a, b), 100 µm (c–f).
