Expression Analyses of CsFUL1 in Cucumber.

(A) Representative fruits of 12 cucumber lines at 10 DAA. Bar = 5 cm.

(B) Negative correlation of CsFUL1^A expression with fruit length. Green bars indicate fruit length, orange and pink bars represent CsFUL1 expression in lines harboring the CsFUL1^A or CsFUL1^C allele, respectively. Three biological replicates from different plants were performed for each expression analysis. Error bars indicate se. Values are means ± se (n = 4 fruits).

(C) to (L) In situ hybridization of CsFUL1 in lines harboring the CsFUL1^A allele. (C) The shoot apex of 12-d-old plant. (D) Stage 2 floral bud. (E) and (H) Stage 3 floral bud. (F) and (I) Longitudinal section of a stage 8 female flower. (G) and (J) Cross sections of stage 9 ovaries. (K) and (L) Negative controls hybridized with the sense probe. Bars = 50 µm.
