From: A Genome-wide View of Transcriptome Dynamics During Early Spike Development in Bread Wheat
The bread wheat spikes in six developmental stages that were used for gene expression analyses. All samples shown are from Kenong9204 (KN9204). (A) Vegetative stage (KNI). Leaf primordial is indicated by a red arrow. Length and width of meristem are marked by dot lines. (B) Elongation stage. (C) Single ridge stage. Bracteal primordial is indicated by a red arrow. (D) Double ridge stage. Bracteal primordial (lower ridge) is indicated by a white arrow. Spikelet meristem (upper ridge) is indicated by a red arrow. (E,F) glume primordium differentiation stage (E) and floret differentiation stage (F). Floral meristems are indicated by red arrows. Bar: 200 µm.
