Characterization of an nf-yc11/nc2α mutant and comparison of the growth of grxS17 and nf-yc11/nc2α plants as a function of photoperiod duration. A, PCR analysis of genomic DNA of At3g12480 and transfer DNA in wild-type, heterozygous, and homozygous plants of the German Plant Genomics Research Program-042E02 mutant line. B, RT-PCR analysis of wild-type and homozygous plants. C, Seedling development in short- and long-day conditions (8 and 16 h, respectively) at moderate light (200 µmol photons m⁻² s⁻¹) and 22°C. The seedlings were grown simultaneously in the same conditions, and the original photographs are shown in Supplemental Figure S10. D, Vegetative growth of plants in standard light conditions (short day, 8-h photoperiod and moderate light at 200 µmol photons m⁻² s⁻¹) and long-day and high-light conditions (16-h photoperiod and 500 µmol photons m⁻² s⁻¹) at 22°C. The plant age is indicated for each genotype and culture condition. Hmz, Homozygous; Htx, heterozygous; WT, wild type. Bar in C = 1 cm. Bar in D = 6 cm.
