VIGS decreases SlPIN1 expression and accelerates pedicel abscission. (a) SlPIN1 expression in the flowers during the anthesis of the SlPIN1-VIGS lines (1–6, 1–9 and 1–10) and DR5::GUS (Control). SlPIN1 expression decreased by approximately 50% in the SlPIN1-VIGS lines. The data are presented as the mean (±SD) corresponding to three independent tests. The asterisk indicates significant differences (P < 0.05) according to Duncan’s multiple range test. (b) Pedicels in the SlPIN1-VIGS lines (1–6, 1–9 and 1–10) abscised earlier than those in DR5::GUS (Control) after flower removal. The data are presented as the mean (±SD) corresponding to three independent tests, and 20 to 30 pedicels were investigated in each test.
