Late Bolting and Early Senescence Phenotypes in Arabidopsis Plants with Suppressed Expression of NEET.

(A) Inflorescence height in the wild type (WT), knockdown plants, and RNAi lines for At-NEET. Plants were grown under controlled growth conditions in a mixed plot setting. A representative photograph of 38-d-old wild type and two independent knockdowns for At-NEET (KD1, SALK_040013; KD2, SALK_040019) is shown along with an RT-PCR gel for the expression of NEET in the plants photographed. UBIQUITIN was used as an internal reference

(B) Leaf number at the time inflorescence height reached 1 cm in wild-type knockdown plants and RNAi lines for NEET. Plants were grown under controlled growth conditions (long day) in a mixed plot setting.

(C) Photograph of 58-d-old wild type and two independent NEET knockdowns grown under controlled growth conditions.

(D) Chlorophyll content in wild-type knockdown plants and RNAi lines for NEET. Plants (58 d old) were gown under controlled growth conditions in a mixed plot setting.

All experiments were repeated at three different times with 60 plants per experiment. Error bars represent sd.
