PIN1 expression and localization during gn leaf development.

(A–Q,T,U) Top right: leaf age in days after germination (DAG). (A–E) Veins form sequentially during Arabidopsis leaf development: the formation of the midvein (mv) is followed by the formation of the first loops of veins (‘first loops’; l1), which in turn is followed by the formation of second loops (l2) and minor veins (hv) (Mattsson et al., 1999; Sieburth, 1999; Kang and Dengler, 2004; Scarpella et al., 2004). Loops and minor veins differentiate in a tip-to-base sequence during leaf development. Increasingly darker grays depict progressively later stages of vein development. Boxes in C and D illustrate positions of closeups in P and T. l3: third loop. (F–W) Confocal laser scanning microscopy. First leaves. For simplicity, only half-leaves are shown in H–J and L–O. Dashed white line in F–R and T–V delineates leaf outline. (F–Q,T,U) Top right: genotype. (F–P,R–T,V,W) Bottom left: reproducibility index. (F–O) PIN1::PIN1:YFP expression; look‐up table (ramp in F) visualizes expression levels. (P,R–T,V,W) PIN1::PIN1:GFP expression; look‐up table (ramp in P) visualizes expression levels. Red: autofluorescence. Stars in P label cells of the developing second loop. (Q,U) PIN1::PIN1:YFP expression. Boxes in Q and in U illustrate positions of closeups in R and S, and in V and W, respectively. Bars: (F,P,R–T,V,W) 10 µm; (G,I,L,Q) 30 µm; (H,K) 20 µm; (J,M–O,U) 60 µm.

Auxin-signaling-dependent vascular development in gn.

(A–F) Confocal laser scanning microscopy; first leaves 4 (A,C), 5 (B,D,E) or 6 (F) days after germination. DR5rev::nYFP expression; look‐up table (ramp in D) visualizes expression levels. Top right: genotype and treatment. Bottom left: reproducibility index. Dashed white line delineates leaf outline. Images were taken at identical settings. (G,H) Dark‐field illumination of mature first leaves. Top right: genotype. (I) Percentages of leaves in phenotype classes (defined in Figure 2). Difference between axr1‐3 and WT, between axr1‐12 and WT, and between gn‐13 and WT was significant at p<0.001 (***) by Kruskal‐Wallis and Mann‐Whitney test with Bonferroni correction. Sample population sizes: WT, 49; axr1‐3, 42; axr1‐12, 49; gn‐13, 47; gn‐13;axr1‐3, 45; gn‐13;axr1‐12, 45. Bars: (A–F) 100 µm; (G,H) 0.75 mm. See Figure 9—figure supplement 1 for images of DR5rev::nYFP expression taken by matching signal intensity to detector’s input range (~5% saturated pixels). See Figure 9—figure supplement 2 for gn and axr1 mutant seedlings. See Figure 9—figure supplement 3 for cotyledon patterns of gn and axr1 mutants. See Figure 9—figure supplement 4 for alternative visual display of distribution of leaves in phenotype classes.

Auxin response in developing leaves.

(A–F) Confocal laser scanning microscopy; first leaves 4 (B), 5 (A,C,D) or 6 (E) days after germination. DR5rev::nYFP expression; look‐up table (ramp in Figure 9D) visualizes expression levels. Top right: genotype and treatment. Bottom left: reproducibility index. Dashed white line delineates leaf outline. Images were taken by matching signal intensity to detector’s input range (~5% saturated pixels).

(A–D) Dark-field illumination composite of 3‐day‐old seedlings; genotypes below respective seedlings (A) or top right (B–D). (A) Overview. Because the seedling lineup was wider than the stereomicroscope’s field of view, overlapping images of parts of the lineup were acquired and combined to reconstruct the original lineup. (B–D) Details. Bars: (A) 2 mm; (B–D) 0.5 mm.

Cotyledon patterns of gn and axr1 mutants.

Percentages of seedlings in phenotype classes (defined in Figure 3—figure supplement 3 and Figure 6—figure supplement 4). Difference between gn‐13 and WT was significant at p<0.001 (***); and between gn‐13;axr1‐12 and gn‐13 was significant at p<0.01 (**) by Kruskal‐Wallis and Mann‐Whitney test with Bonferroni correction. Sample population sizes: WT, 86; axr1‐3, 87; axr1‐12, 47; gn‐13, 62; gn‐13;axr1‐3, 70; gn‐13;axr1‐12, 50.

Auxin-transport- and auxin-signaling-dependent coordination of PIN1 localization in gn developing leaves.

(A,G) Increasingly darker grays depict progressively later stages of vein development. Boxes illustrate positions of closeups in B and H, respectively. hv: minor vein; l1, l2 and l3: first, second and third loops; mv: midvein. (B–F,H–L) Confocal laser scanning microscopy. First leaves. Top right: genotype, treatment and leaf age in days after germination (DAG). Dashed white line delineates leaf outline. Bottom left: reproducibility index. PIN1::PIN1:GFP expression; look‐up table (ramp in H) visualizes expression levels. Red: autofluorescence. (I) 24/35 of second loops failed to connect to the first loop. Bars: (B–F,H–L) 20 µm.
