Fig. 1From: Transcriptome profiling of differentially expressed genes in floral buds and flowers of male sterile and fertile lines in watermelonMorphological differences in floral organs of a male sterile line (DAH3615-MS) and a male fertile line (DAH3615). The flower (a) and floral bud (c) of the male sterile line, DAH3615-MS, are smaller than those (b, d) of the male fertile line, DAH3615. The male sterile flower (a) shows distinctive defective stamen and absence of pollen grains. The images were taken at 63 d after sowingBack to article page
