Figure 4. LcIDL1 is an abscission-associated gene in litchi.

Figure 4

(A) Magnified images of stage I, stage II and stage III of litchi male flower; the region between two short red lines indicates the AZ. (B) qRT-PCR analysis of LcIDL1 expression in pedicel AZ cells of litchi male flower during abscission. The Y-axis is fold-change, the expression levels are relative to stage I. (C) Girdling plus defoliation (GPD) and ethephon (ETH) treatments significantly induced fruitlet abscission. (D) qRT-PCR analysis of LcIDL1 expression in peduncle AZ cells after GPD and ETH treatments. LcEF-1a was used as an internal control. The Y-axis is fold-change, the expression levels are relative to control 0 d. Data shown are means ± SD. One-way ANOVA (Tukey-Kramer test) analysis was performed, and statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) were indicated by asterisks.
