The influence of seed vernalization on the transcript levels of other MADS box genes in barley. Expression of MADS box genes was assayed in seedlings at the 7 week vernalization time point (cold), and compared with non-vernalized plants at a similar stage of development (control). Expression of HvVRT2 (A), BM10 (B), and BM1 (C) was assayed by quantitative RT-PCR and is shown relative to ACTIN. Asterisks indicate P-values of Student's t-test: ***P <0.001.
