Different forms of Arabidopsis thaliana plants

Caption

Different forms of seven-week-old Arabidopsis thaliana plants: the wild type (left) compared with a plant lacking RE1 (right). The characteristic “reticulated” leaf form is clearly visible in the right-hand plant – the leaf tissue is lighter due to a lack of mesophyll cells, while the leaf veins appear greener due to a greater number of chloroplasts.
