Fig. 7. Achenes and embryos of wild type (WT) and tubular ray flower (turf) mutant. (A) A turf inflorescence (side view) showing three fertilized achenes characterized by phytomelanin deposition. Involucral bracts were removed to reveal florets at the periphery of the inflorescence. (B) An empty achene from a WT ray floret (1), a fertile achene from a WT disc floret (3), and a filled achene from a tubular-like ray floret (2). (C) Heteromorphic zygotic embryos isolated from a mature achene at the periphery (tubular-like ray florets) (1) or from a mature achene of the first row of disc florets (2) in a turf inflorescence. Scale bars = 0.48 cm (A), 0.40 cm (B), and 1.28 mm (C).
