Table 1. Longevity of unpollinated and pollinated WT, PhHD-Zip silenced white flowers, and vector control flowers (CHS silenced white, PhHD-Zip/CHS purple).
Natural Longevity (days±SD) | Pollinated Longevity (days±SD) | |
WT purple flowers | 8.4a±1.1 | 3.4a±0.4 |
CHS white flowers | 8.2a±1.3 | 3.2a±0.5 |
PhHD-Zip/CHS purple flowers | 8.2a±1.5 | 3.4a±0.2 |
PhHD-Zip/CHS white flowers | 9.7b±1.7 | 4.3b±1.0 |
Longevity of attached flowers. Means±SD for 30 flowers (10 from each of three replicate plants). Different letters indicate significant differences using Duncan’s test, p<0.05.
