Expression dynamics of (A) SCR and (B) SRK during flower development, from early buds (< 0.5 mm) to open flowers. For SCR, only genotypes in which a given allele was either dominant or codominant were included (recessive SCR alleles were strongly silenced at all stages and were therefore not informative here). All genotypes are shown for SRK. For each allele, 2^−ΔCt values were normalized relative to the developmental stage with the highest expression. For each stage, the thick horizontal line represents the median, and the box represents the first and third quartiles. The upper whisker extends from the hinge to the largest value no further than 1.5 x interquartile range from the hinge (or distance between the first and third quartiles). The lower whisker extends from the hinge to the smallest value at most 1.5 x interquartile range of the hinge and the black dots represents outlier values.
