Increased expression of TEs in stem cells of D7 seedlings according to qRT–PCR. Box plots outline the interquartile range (IQR) with the median and whiskers ± 1.5 IQR. N = 2 (ATLANTYS3, ATCOPIA39, ATCOPIA49, ATCOPIA29, ATGP1‐1), N = 3 (VANDAL6, ATGP2, ATGP1‐2, ATLINE1, ATGP1‐3), N = 4 (ATHILA6A, ATCOPIA83), N = 5 (VANDAL12, ATHILA3, ATCOPIA22), and N = 6 for CLAVATA. *P < 0.01, **P < 0.001 (t‐test).
Heatmap of TE expression in several silencing mutants determined by qRT–PCR relative to a housekeeping gene. To be able to display data in log‐scale also for samples with zero expression, a value of 1.0e−6 (factor 10 smaller than the smallest value) was added to all values. Data for nuclei and CLV3::H2BmCherry are the same as in (A). For seedling samples, N = 2 (ATCOPIA49, ATHILA3), N = 3 (ATCOPIA39, VANDAL6, ATGP2, ATLINE1, ATCOPIA29, ATGP1‐1), and N = 4 (ATLANTYS3, VANDAL12, ATGP1‐2, ATHILA6A).
