Antisense-ACLA Plants Are Reduced in Size and Altered in Development.

Graphic representation of the physical traits of wild-type and antisense-ACLA (αACL) associated phenotypes categorized as either mild, moderate, severe, very severe, or lethal.

(A) Representative wild-type and αACL plants at 78 DAI, presenting different phenotype classes.

(B) Fresh weight of 78-DAI plants.

(C) Rosette diameter of 78-DAI plants.

(D) Bolt height at 78 DAI.

(E) Total number and proportion of reproductive entities per plant at 42 DAI: normal siliques (g), curled siliques (g), short siliques (g), and flower buds (g).

(F) Seed yield per plant.

(G) Seed germination rates.

(H) Time to senescence: senescence is defined as the age at which the majority of siliques are dry and ready to be harvested. Each numerical parameter represents the average ± se of n replicates (n is given in parentheses).
