Analysis of reproductive phase change and flower transitions in NaHD20-silenced plants during water stress and after recovery. Rosette stage EV and NaHD20-silenced plants were subjected to conditions of water deficit for 18 d and afterwards re-watered (black arrows: day 18). Day 0 (D0) was defined as the time in which the first EV plants bolted and time therefore refers to days after D0. The data corresponding to stalk length and number of buds for EV plants under control growth conditions (Fig. 6) are also presented (grey dotted lines) to help with the comparisons between treatments. (A) Rate of stalk elongation. (B) Number of closed buds per plant. (C) Number of opened buds (OBs) per plant. (D) Number of opened corolla flowers (OCFs) per plant. *Mann–Whitney U-test; P <0.05; NaHD20-silenced plants versus EV plants. Each data point corresponds to data collected for 15 plants per plant type. (This figure is available in colour at JXB online.)
