Figure 8.

Levels of IAA, GAs, ABA, and JA hormones in the apices and racemes of the monoecious line and pistillate line. ML, monoecious line; PL, pistillate line; ABML1 and ABPL1, apical buds at 3–4-leaf stage of monoecious and pistillate lines; ABML2 and ABPL2, apical buds at 5–7-leaf stage of monoecious and pistillate lines; RML and RPL, infant raceme stage of monoecious and female lines; F.W., fresh weight. (A) IAA and GA₄contents of apices and racemes for ML and PL; (B) JA and ABA levels in apices and racemes of ML and PL. Error bars indicate SE (n = 3); Asterisks indicate p < 0.05 (^*) and p < 0.01 (^**) between PL and ML in Duncan's test analysis.
