RT-qPCR analysis of selected genes differentially expressed in inflorescence stems of eight-week-old SND2-OV(A) and wild type plants. SND2-OV(A) plants were grown alongside the wild type in three biological replicate pairs, with primary stems from six plants pooled per sample. SND2-OV(A) transcript levels were normalized to the wild type in each replicate (assigned a value of 1, for each gene), hence error bars indicate the standard error of the deviation from wild type across biological replicates. Significance was evaluated by a one-tailed paired t-test, in accordance with the expected direction of response for each gene; *P < 0.05.
