Expression profiles of hormone-related genes during lamina joint development. A, Expression patterns of differentially expressed hormone-related genes at four developmental stages of the lamina joint and adjacent leaf parts, which are shown as unscaled log₂ expression levels. Processes (types) of genes involved in hormone biosynthesis and signaling are indicated in Supplemental Figure S5. B, Amounts of various hormones at four developmental stages of the lamina joint and adjacent leaf parts (stages S2 and S4). For each sample, ∼30 to 80 lamina joints were collected for assay. Measurement was biologically repeated three times, and data are shown as means ± sd (n = 3).
