Figure 3. Expression levels of DcLcyb1 in leaves and storage roots during D. carota development.

Expression analysis was carried out in 4, 8 and 12 week-old plants. Different letters indicate significant differences between developmental stages and between leaves and roots. Asterisks indicate significant differences between both organs at the same stage of development. Ubiquitin was used as a normalizer, while data of leaves of 4 week-old plants were used as calibrator. A non-paired one and two tailed t-test (p<0.05) was performed.
