Gene expression and Suc contents in axillary buds of the wild type (WT) and tin. Relative expression levels of (A) Suc starvation-inducible and (B) Suc-inducible genes, and bud weight (C) and Suc contents (D) in buds in the third leaf axil of WT and tin at 15 and 18 DAP. Data for gene expression are mean ± sem; n = 3 biological replicates from two independent experiments. Data for bud weight and Suc are mean ± se; n = 9 or 10 buds for bud weight and from at least four buds for Suc contents.
