Overexpressing PgUGT72AL1 in Arabidopsis caused organ fusion in axillary leaves. (A) Overexpression of the N-terminal and C-terminal halves of PgUGT72AL1 resulted in organ fusion of the axillary branch in two 6-week-old transgenic lines, respectively. The scale bar represents 2 mm. (B) Overexpressed transcripts were confirmed by qPCR in two independent transgenic lines. Data represent the mean ± SE for three independent replicates. Averages for treated samples were significantly different compared to the control at *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01. ABA, abscisic acid; JA, jasmonic acid; qPCR, quantitative polymerase chain reaction; SA, salicylic acid; SE, standard error.
