FIGURE 8.
Flowering time and RT-qPCR analysis of flowering time related genes’ expressions in WT, abi3 and transgenic Arabidopsis plants. (A) Flowering of WT and transgenic plants. (B) Number of rosette leaves in WT, gs1, abi3-6, and 35S::BnABI3 transgenic Arabidopsis plants at bolting. The data represent the mean ± SD of three independent experiments (14 seedlings). (C) RT-qPCR analysis of the expression of the flowering time genes FT, AP1, FLC, and FLM in WT and transgenic Arabidopsis seedlings. Values are given as mean ± SD, n = 4. ∗p < 0.05 by Kruskal–Wallis test.
