Figure 2. Functional analysis of two SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE (SVP) isoforms.

Figure 2

A) Graphical representation of protein-protein interaction capacity of the SVP1 (black) and SVP3 (grey) splicing variants as determined by matrix-based yeast two-hybrid studies (Van Dijk et al, 2010). B) and C) Effect of ectopic expression of SVP1 (CZN094) and SVP3 (CZN756) on flowering-time under short day conditions. Flowering-time was assessed using days until bolting (B) as well as the number of rosette leaves (C). For both constructs, flowering-time of three segregating lines was analyzed and compared to flowering-time of wild type control plants. * denotes statistical significance with p<0.01 (t-test). D) Floral phenotypes upon ectopic expression of SVP1. First and second whorl organs are greenish and leaf-like and flowers are partially sterile due to reduced anther filament elongation.
