RT-PCR Analysis of Transcript Levels of Flowering Time Integrator and Floral Homeotic Genes during Development of the Wild Type, atswi3c-1, and atswi3d-1 during SD Conditions.

Samples were taken at 31 and 41 d after planting (DAP) by collecting whole seedlings, except for roots, whereas samples collected at day 66 correspond to inflorescence tips on the first day of flowering. Numbers under mutant names indicate (from left to right) signal intensities compared with RT-PCR determined with control wild-type RNA samples collected at days 31, 41, and 66. Black framed images show RT-PCR products obtained with 22 cycles of PCR, whereas unframed images correspond to cDNA products amplified by 30 cycles.
