APUM9 Reduces Seed Dormancy.
(A)
qRT-PCR analysis of APUM9, APUM10, and APUM11 transcript levels in 24-h imbibed seeds of three independent APUM9
RNAi lines. The expression values were normalized using ACT8 as control. n = 3 biological replicates; error bars represent se.
(B) Germination after different periods of dry storage of three independent APUM9
RNAi lines in the Col background. Shown are averages ± se of six to eight independent batches of seeds for each genotype.
(C) Germination after different periods of dry storage of three independent APUM9 overexpression lines in the Col background. Shown are averages ± se of six to eight independent batches of seeds for each genotype.
(D) Germination after different periods of dry storage of four independent APUM9 RNAi lines in the rdo5-1 background. Germination of the dormant line NIL-DOG1 is shown for comparison. Shown are averages ± se of six to eight independent batches of seeds for each genotype.
