Germplasm Phenotype:

• SALK_098881 homozygous  — sepals and carpels are pale yellow or white,while the inflorescence stems and siliques are purple. Floral organs are smaller than WT. Flowers, cauline leaves, stems, and siliques have a decreased amount of chlorophyll as compared to WT.
• bnq1 rnai; bnq2 rnai; bnq3  — Same as bnq3 single mutants: sepals and carpels are pale yellow or white,while the inflorescence stems and siliques are purple
• bnq3 ap3-3  — Pale yellowish sepaloid second-whorl organs.
