Table I.
The no. and length of floral organs in wild type (WT) and poc mutant
The sample size was 50 flowers from each genotype WT, poc A, poc B, and poc C. The P values (WT versus mutant) were calculated using a two-tailed Student's t test as described in “Materials and Methods.” The P values for all mutant samples were less than 0.0001.
