pSuT mutant plants exhibit fewer inflorescence stems than the wild type (WT). A, Representative images of 8-week-old wild-type, pSuT-kd, and pSuT-ko plants. B, Number of stems at the end of flowering. Because of the delay in bolting, pSuT-kd was analyzed 1 d and pSuT-ko was analyzed 2 d later than the wild type (34 d after transfer to LD). Data represent means ± se of 29 or more individual plants per line. Significant differences compared with the wild type were calculated using one-tailed Student’s t test (***, P ≤ 0.001).
