Fig. 2. Effect of antisense silencing of THyPRP on the kinetics of flower pedicel abscission following flower removal.
Flower explants were prepared and handled as previously described15,34. Wild type (WT) plants (cv. NY) and silenced lines 7 and 11/generation T4 were used. The percentage of accumulated pedicel abscission was monitored at 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20 h after flower removal. The results are means of four replicates (n = 30 explants) ± SE
