Differential Expression of Two Groups of GA2oxs Regulates Flower and Tiller Development.

(A) Developmental phases during the life cycle of rice. The timeline is measured in days after imbibition (DAI).

(B) Temporal expression patterns of GA2oxs in rice. The last fully expanded leaves were collected from rice plants at different developmental stages. Total RNA was isolated and analyzed by RT-PCR using GA2ox and GA3ox2 gene-specific primers (see Supplemental Table 4 online). The 18S rRNA gene (rRNA) was used as a control.

(C) Tiller development during the life cycle of rice. A total of eight plants were used for counting tiller number, and error bars indicate the se of the mean at each time point.
