ESD7 genetically interacts with the PRC1 component TFL2 and the PRC2 components CLF and EMF2. (A and C) Flowering phenotype of Col, esd7-1 introgressed in the Col background, tf2-1, esd7-1 tf2-1, emf2-2, emf2-2 esd7-1, Ler, esd7-1, clf-16 and clf-16 esd7-1 mutant plants grown under LD (A) or SD conditions (C). (B and D) Flowering time of these plants under LD (B) and SD conditions (D). (E and F) Analysis of the expression of FT and SOC1 floral integrator genes in WT and different mutants under LD. Total RNA was extracted from pool samples of 9-day-old (WT and mutants in Col background) and 6-day old (WT and mutants in Ler background) seedlings grown under LDs collected 4 h after dawn. All the differences were statistically significant (P > 0.05) according to Student's t-tests in the comparison of mutants with WT. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) between mutants.
