Figure 3. DRM3 is required for normal establishment of RNA–directed DNA methylation.

(A) Histograms showing flowering-time distribution of untransformed plants (black bars) or T₁ FWA transformant plants (grey bars). Flowering-time is measured as total leaf number and plotted along the x-axis, with number of plants on y-axis. (B) Graph showing flowering time (total leaf number) of individual T₁ plants connected to the average flowering time of their T₂ progeny. Each colour represents an individual T₁–T₂ family.
