Relative expression level of TaVRN1 and TaFT1 and MeJA content during vernalization in hexaploid winter wheat seedlings analysed by qRT-PCR and HPLC/MS. Two weeks after germination at 20 ºC under LD conditions, non-vernalized winter wheat (cv Norstar) plants were vernalized under SD conditions at 4 ºC for 63 d and deacclimated for 14 d at 20 ºC under LD conditions. The aerial part was sampled around 4h after the beginning of the daylight period. The expression level of TaVRN-A1 (panel a) and TaFT-A1 (panel b) are expressed relative to the non-vernalized point (Ctrl-0). Data represent the mean ± SEM from three biological replicates. The expression levels are normalized with the TaRNA 18S. Plant samples from the same experiment were used to measure the MeJA content by HPLC / MS (panel c). Data represent the mean ± SEM from three biological replicates. AC-35D: cold-acclimated for 35 d; AC-63D: cold-acclimated for 63 d; DA-14D; plants cold-acclimated for 63 d and deacclimated under favourable growth conditions (LD and 20 ºC).
