Comparison of cellular areas of flowers between wild type and silenced PhGI1 plants of T1 generation.
| Genotype: | W.T. | iRNA::PhGI1 | % GI1 versus W.T. | P value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corolla (µm2) | 1132.38 ± 225.13 | 910.07 ± 171.02 | −19.6 | 8,18E-16 |
| Basal limb (µm2) | 345.12 ± 88.85 | 302.07 ± 74.75 | −12.5 | 1,53E-05 |
| Tube (µm2) | 3653.35 ± 794.4 | 2566.5 ± 647.14 | −29.8 | 8,81E-28 |
Values correspond to mean (µm2) ± deviation standard error of at least three flowers belonging to the iRNA::GI1 lines 3.7, 4.7 and 8.1 and 50 measurements for each flower. P values ≤ 0,05 according to Students T-test were considered as significant.
